The Embrace of the Hives – Experiences of healing spaces for defenders in Basque Country, Brazil, Colombia, Honduras, Mexico and Spain
Mesoamerican Initiative of Women Human Rights Defenders (IM-Defensoras) and Consorcio para el Dialogo Parlamentario y la Equidad Oaxaca AC (Consorcio Oaxaca)
THE EMBRACE OF THE HIVES is the result of a collective process of reflection, exchange of knowledge and learning between seven spaces of care and healing that emerged in different geographies to provide shelter to defenders who seek to go through their processes of healing, recovery and transformation of the impacts and pain generated by sociopolitical and patriarchal violence which defenders experience due to their activism.
