Prevenir a tiempo: Herramientas para el abordaje integral de la violencia de género desde la Educación Parvularia

  • P Project/Program

A Active

Key Information

The project is a pedagogical resource developed by Chile’s Subsecretariat of Early Childhood Education. It is part of the “Prevenir a Tiempo” initiative, which aims to provide educational teams in early childhood education with tools to prevent, address, and refer cases of gender-based violence (GBV) that may occur within educational settings.​

This material offers strategies and activities designed to promote gender equality and non-discrimination among young children. It emphasizes the importance of fostering respectful relationships and empowering children to make decisions that contribute to their well-being and that of others. The resource aligns with the objectives outlined in Chile’s Law 21.675 (2024), which mandates educational institutions to promote non-sexist education and implement mechanisms to detect and respond promptly to incidents of GBV affecting the educational community.​

The "Prevenir a Tiempo" project is financed by the 2024 Equality Fund of the Ministry of Women and Gender Equity and is executed by the Subsecretariat of Early Childhood Education. It aims to enhance the quality of life for women and children by providing resources, guidance, and technical assistance to strengthen existing programs and develop new interventions that promote gender equality in Chile.
