BOLIVIA: Voces Libres hopes its programme to assist women in Cochabamba, which has been running for two years, will serve as a model for other legal assistance programmes and shelters in terms of offering multi-faceted support by addressing the legal, economic and emotional aspects of violence. In the same building that houses their shelter, lawyers work to establish protective measures and push cases forward, therapists talk with women and their children, job training is offered, and small no-interest loans assist with tools for work, such as sewing machines. The potential for economic independence is a key part of the programme.
