Neighborhood Mothers Committees
The Neighborhood Mothers Committees are institutions for the representation and empowerment of women in poverty who are also mothers that perform household tasks. Each committee has between 20 and 200 members, and is responsible for managing resources for the care and attention of children, youth and elderly in the community. The Committees are linked to the so-called Missions for Mothers of the Neighborhoods - programs for the allocation of resources to women with economic needs.
