CHILE

Fundación Antonia deeply believes that only through education and visibility of violence in non-married couples we can aspire to a society with the necessary tools to prevent, address and eradicate it. Currently, an average of 5 talks are held monthly, whose objective is to reveal, through Antonia's story, those signs that can help us detect those who are suffering this type of violence, and in those cases, know how third parties, like Fundación Antonia, can offer assistance. These talks are held in schools, institutes, universities, communities and parents' associations, and have been developed mainly in the Metropolitana, Biobío, Maule and Valparaíso regions.

Workshops and training seminars are organized for YSL Beauty and L'Oréal corporate and front-line teams to understand and identify abusive relationships and to be advocates of the Abuse is not Love program.

Since its formation, Fundación Antonia has submitted to the national congress of Chile two bills that try to expand the law of domestic violence in force to non-married couples, typify the crime of induction to suicide and decree February 7th, the day of Antonia's death, as the national day against violence in non-married couples. These bills are called "Ley Antonia" and "February 7," respectively. In November 2021, this bill was approved. 

1. Proyecto Antonia Tarapacá: Together with the government of the United States and Vital Voices, a project will be carried out from February 2023 to July 2023, in the Tarapacá region. The objective is to bring information and sensitize the community on issues of violence against women. There will be 5 talks given, 1 per area, with at least 20 people per talk and with 18 days of training in the prevention of gender violence for women and state institutions.
2. Fundación Antonia Shelter: Fundación Antonia is working on the creation of a shelter for women that have suffered violence and that are in an emergency state due to the intimidation they are being victims of.
