Gender and migration
From a multidimension perspective, in line with this year바카라 사이트s slogan of 바카라 사이트Inspiring Inclusion바카라 사이트, more women from the interior of the country were encouraged to apply and the Ambassador spent her shared day in Rivera, a border town in northern Uruguay. Together with her companion Mauren Zamora, native of this city, they had a full agenda of activities.
During the day, they were able to learn about the joint work carried out by IOM (International Organisation for Migration), UNICEF, MIDES (Ministry of Social Development) and InMujeres (National Women바카라 사이트s Institute). The agenda included: meetings with the Mayor and with the Binational Commission on Gender-Based Violence (made up of women from the governments of Uruguay and Brazil), a visit to Casa TrampolĂn (a centre that houses migrant families with child dependants) and an intercultural snack with migrant women entrepreneurs, who shared their projects and experiences in the country.
