How Citizens benefit
The workshops that were carried out related and linked to the primary sector have been a fundamental instrument for the empowerment of mothers and, in the case of their sons and daughters, the connection with the animal has been a discovery towards meanings of care and of self care.
This project has made it possible to contribute to the development and strengthening of families, both as a whole and individually. On the one hand, the mothers have felt supported, safe, they have generated new ties of support among the group, they have aroused new incentives, including work, and on the other hand, the girls and boys have enjoyed themselves, they have generated a special bond with the animal, developing and learning compassion and respect towards these, basic values to learn to live in community.
Finally, awakening in young women victims of gender violence that there are other agricultural spaces where they can promote their self-esteem, where they can vent and discover new potential, is a key factor for the future rural development of women, since they are agents of socio-economic change: "Empowering this group is not only essential for the well-being of individuals, families and rural communities, but also for general economic productivity, given the large presence of women in the global agricultural workforce" (UN Women).

Artisans, psychologists from the islands will be sought and they will be trained in a gender perspective to be able to apply this project satisfactorily.
