Customized employment for the social and labor insertion of women at risk of social exclusion.
Description: The project is a socio-labor accompaniment of women at risk of social exclusion in the Carabanchel and Latina districts (Madrid) through the development of a personalized itinerary of training and empowerment actions for the beneficiaries (development of an action plan, individual tutoring, training in digital skills, group coaching and contact with companies for their labor market insertion).
Country: Spain
Category/Topic: Education, Community Development, Entrepreneurship and Business
Target Audience: Women at risk of social exclusion
Objectives: Through support actions, training in skills and competencies, the aim is to improve self-esteem and position themselves in better conditions for labor market incorporation.
Context/Background: While Madrid shines as a modern and bustling metropolis, it also harbors pockets of inequality and social marginalization. The Carabanchel and Latina districts, although full of potential, have been witnessing a disproportionately high number of women facing the risk of social exclusion. Factors such as limited access to education, cultural barriers, unequal job opportunities, and familial responsibilities have converged to create a challenging landscape for these women. This project’s genesis can be traced back to the recognition of this alarming situation and the collective determination to create positive change.

Impact: The socio-labor accompaniment project for women at risk of social exclusion in the Carabanchel and Latina districts of Madrid has the potential to create a profound and lasting positive impact on multiple levels. By addressing the unique challenges faced by these women and providing them with tailored support and opportunities, the project can lead to transformative changes that reverberate through individual lives, families, communities, and the broader society.
Challenges Faced: • Many women in the Carabanchel and Latina districts face entrenched socioeconomic barriers, including poverty, lack of access to quality education, and limited resources. Overcoming these barriers requires comprehensive support that goes beyond training, encompassing issues such as childcare, transportation, and affordable housing.
• While digital skills training is a crucial component of the project, some women may have limited experience with technology. Bridging the digital divide requires patient and targeted training efforts to ensure that all beneficiaries can fully participate and benefit from the program.
