Participation & governance<br />
<strong>Cuso</strong> international volunteers work to strengthen civil<br />
society organizations, support judicial reform, and<br />
promote access to justice for vulnerable populations.<br />
We do this because people worldwide should be able<br />
to participate in the decisions that affect their daily<br />
lives through structures that are open, rule-based,<br />
predictable and non-discriminatory.<br />

“Violence is violence, whether it<br />
occurs in the home, or not. And it<br />
is never excusable. I’ve learned that,<br />
and now my responsibility is to share<br />
this knowledge with my community.<br />
I feel respected and empowered<br />
to make a difference. For the first<br />
time in my life, I have felt like<br />
a protagonist, like an agent<br />
of change.”<br />
– A woman in the rural highlands of Peru,<br />
