Mujeres
Unidas en Acción, Inc. is a community-based learning
center in Dorchester, Massachusetts, created by and for women
and their children. Mujeres Unidas reponds to the special
needs of Latino immigrant women who, upon arriving in the
United States, confront barriers including language, poverty,
cultural and social differences, isolation, discrimination,
racism and, in some cases, a lack of formal education. Through
education and support services that are designed to facilitate
educational, social and economic growth, we strive to present
new opportunities to Latino women. Our mission is to strengthen
the voice of low-income Latino women and to empower Latino
families to participate more actively in the political, social
and economic life not only of the Latino community, but also
of society at large.
Women
and Literacy Discussion List
-- sponsored by NIFL and hosted by Daphne Greenberg at
the Center for the Study of Adult Literacy (CSAL) -- is
designed for providers, advocates, researchers, learners,
policy makers, and all other persons who are interested in
exploring the linkages between women's lives and their literacies.
Women
in Literacy/Women in Action
- Women in Literacy/USA was started in 1994, and although
it has a different character than the program in developing
countries, it too focused on helping women achieve a level
of learning that will help them solve the problems in their
lives and attain their goals.
Women
in Action is
the continuation of Laubach Literacy's successful 10-year
global initiative - Women in Literacy. The goal of Women in
Action is to help women undertake 2,000 life-changing projects
in marginalized communities in Asia, Africa, the Middle East
and the Americas by the year 2005.
