In 2012, Iser was a technical partner in an initiative that integrates six agencies of the UN system (PNUD, UNDOC, UNESCO, ILO, UN-HABITAT AND UNICEF) in a joint program carried out in the municipalities of Contagem – MG, Vitória – ES and Lauro de Freitas – BH.
The project is structured around three main axes: public security, gender and conflict mediation and its main focus group was children, adolescents and young people in conditions of social vulnerability.
Its main actions aimed to promote coexistence (respect for norms and strengthening citizenship); the reduction of risk factors related to violence (drugs and weapons, for example); promoting the peaceful resolution of conflicts; and access to justice.
The activities developed are based on training and strengthening mobilizations and local actors. With the contribution of innovative methodologies and participatory interventions, the project aimed to promote the prevention and reduction of violence on a sustainable and democratic basis.
