Santa Barbara is located in the department of Huehuetenango and has the highest poverty rate in Guatemala. Almost 100% of the population (nearly all residents) live in poverty, and 10% of them suffer from extreme poverty. All of this translates into multiple deficiencies related to their health and education. In this context, the inequality between men and women becomes even more prominent. They find their reproductive health, empowerment and participation in the labor market diminished. This is especially true if they are Aboriginal women, who are paid less than Aboriginal men and less than non-Aboriginal women. Most people continue to be relegated to the care economy, almost always without pay. Considering that economic independence is crucial to the elimination of violence against women, at Educo together with local NGO partner Tierra Nueva, and with funding from Xunta de alicia, we have spent the last two years working on empowerment, social and from Political inclusion and economic autonomy of indigenous women in the rural communities of La Vea and Cerro avilán, Xoconila Village, Santa Barbara. “We learned about technical aspects such as weighing pigs, feeding them, cleaning them daily and identifying them by their earrings. We also learned other important things such as women’s rights, self-esteem, how we should take care of ourselves, love ourselves and give Your own space,” tells us Maria Veronica, a member of one of the production units along the project. and her group of women.

All of their inco Chinese Overseas Asia Number Data mes increased, but so did their perceptions of themselves and their roles in the community. Women received training on issues related to their rights, such as decision-making, leadership, participation, respect for interculturality and violence prevention. They even managed to form a women's advisory committee at the community level, made up of women from La Vega and Mount Gavilan. All these workshops and trainings sowed seeds among the women who participated. They are becoming aware and are strengthening their capabilities and enriching their knowledge, which will help in being able to assert their rights before the community and municipal institutions to secure their needs. Maria Veronica and other women are proud of their achievements and the contribution they make to meeting the family's basic needs: "When my children are sick, I help with medicines. And shoes and education, because My husband cannot cope. We have other expenses like paying school fees for our two children studying at the grassroots level, water bills, electricity bills, etc.” They have now become a basic part of the family economy and occupy a place in the decision-making space. But what is compassion? It is "the ability to put oneself in another person's shoes, to feel joy and pain. To rejoice when things are going well for the other person and to suffer with the other person when they suffer." Cortina points to the need to distinguish between compassion and empathy .
He said that because empathy allows the executioner to know what hurts the most in the other person, and to cause harm because he has empathy. "You can't function without empathy, but that's not enough. We have to talk about compassion, but compassion is a mixture of empathy and a plan for a happy life". To be precise, all people want to be happy, but only the truly worthy can achieve it because they realize that their project of a happy life cannot be implemented without a commitment to those who suffer. Be with those who need it most. “This is exactly what happens in service learning: you have to see what is missing in a group, a community, a town… and show compassion and commitment. Everyone can do it. The philosopher emphasized: “We can all be great at compassion. ” For Educo, it was a pleasure to once again share this day with all the winners (a total of 20 awards were received by different educational entities from different communities) and to see so many motivating and inspiring projects that students have made to grow, All your aspirations, efforts and joy.
