Through the provision of direct support services, strengthening the responses of institutions, and research into cross-generational violence, CONACMI works to keep future generations protected from abuse, whilst giving victims practical help to overcome their trauma.
Its work also places a large focus on working with communities and families who are in violent situations, and preventing teenage pregnancy; its work has brought about the reduction of girls and young women becoming pregnant.
The organisation has a great deal of experience in reducing teen pregnancy, as well as working with Keeping Children Safe (the global child safeguarding network) and UNICEF.
