Yenelis Díaz, Master in “International Migrations, Health and Welfare: Models and Strategies of Intervention” and in “Gender Studies and Professional Development” by the University of Seville, has been selected as a beneficiary of a “Research Initiation Grant” of the VII Research and Transfer Plan of the University of Seville.
Specifically, Yenelis Díaz will join the first phase of MadresUP, aimed at establishing the state of the art for the promotion of psychosocial well-being in migrant mothers. The results obtained will allow establishing the conceptual and methodological bases for the subsequent design and implementation of a community intervention aimed at enhancing resilient and empowering motherhood among migrant women.
Yenelis Díaz joins MadresUP after extensive experience at the Centre for Women’s Studies of the Republic of Cuba. In this regard, she participated in the implementation of the I National Survey on Gender Equality, funded by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), UN Women, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
