Ecuador
The Government of Ecuador, with assistance from IOM, launched a comprehensive sensitisation campaign against gender-based violence including discussions, radio broadcasts, film screenings and workshops. The campaign took place in a region of the country hosting displaced populations from Colombia and reached over 3,000 people. In addition, workshops and training on gender-based violence prevention were organised for government officials, and psychosocial support and family therapy sessions were provided to over 1,500 migrant women and their families.
