Prepara Familia
Prepara Familia is a non-governmental organisation whose main objective is to generate tools to prevent domestic violence and violence against women, through education and by providing legal, psychological and spiritual support to families, especially women. Since 2018, the organisation has faced various incidents of harassment and intimidation due to its work denouncing violations of the right to health, and accompanying children and their relatives in hospitals.
HRDs have been working under restrictive policies for many years: the Maduro administration has continued the work begun by Chávez in restricting civil space and delegitimising HRDs, repeatedly accusing them of undermining the Venezuelan democracy with the alleged collaboration of the United States. HRDs are discredited and criminalised by state-controlled media (television, radio, print media) on a weekly basis.
