Conócenos un poco más. Somos una organización feminista que trabaja por igualdad plena para personas LGTBIQ+ en el Perú. Hemos impulsado la campaña “Unión Civil Ya” y hoy trabajamos a favor del matrimonio igualitario y de todos los derechos para la diversidad sexual y de género. ABOUT MÁS IGUALDAD Learn more about us Más Igualdad Perú is a nonprofit organization that promotes equal rights and non-discrimination through collaborative work, media outreach, and the promotion of research and reflection on topics related to diversity. Our Vision A future with equality We aspire for everyone in Peru to be able to fully exercise their citizenship, live a life free of discrimination and violence, and, together with their families, exercise their citizenship democratically. Our Mission Commitment to diversity We promote access to comprehensive care services with an affirmative approach, for people in their diversity, the recognition of all families and identities, with a focus on historically marginalized groups; working to promote rights in all their dimensions. SINCE 2013 Our History A decade driving equality and rights. Más Igualdad Perú is a non-governmental organization founded in February 2017, growing out of an activism process that began in 2013 with campaigns for civil unions and marriage equality in the country. What makes us different? AFFIRMATIVE APPROACH Valoramos y celebramos la diversidad en todas sus formas, incluyendo características sexuales, identidades de género y maneras diversas de relacionarse. Nuestro trabajo se basa en una mirada que reconoce estas diferencias como un aporte fundamental a la sociedad. Además, cuestionamos activamente cualquier sistema de creencias, normas o prácticas culturales que generen prejuicios, estigmatización o exclusión hacia grupos históricamente marginados, buscando transformar estructuras y discursos que perpetúan la desigualdad. MENTAL HEALTH APPROACH Consideramos el bienestar como un estado integral que abarca no solo la ausencia de trastornos, sino también la capacidad para enfrentar las tensiones y demandas diarias, y para participar activamente en la comunidad. Trabajamos para desestigmatizar la salud mental, especialmente entre personas LGBTIQ+ que viven con diagnósticos o experiencias neurodivergentes. Promovemos espacios inclusivos y apoyo psicológico que favorezcan la resiliencia y la calidad de vida de estas personas. EMPLEABILIDAD LGBTIQ+ Reconocemos la deuda histórica y estructural que existe hacia las poblaciones LGBTIQ+, quienes enfrentan altas tasas de exclusión laboral y económica. Por ello, implementamos políticas de contratación inclusivas, priorizando la incorporación de personas LGBTIQ+, con especial énfasis en grupos particularmente vulnerables como las personas trans, no binarias y bisexuales. Este enfoque no solo contribuye a la justicia laboral, sino que fortalece nuestra organización con diversidad y experiencias vitales diversas. ENFOQUE INTERSECCIONAL We understand that people do not experience discrimination in isolation — rather, multiple factors, such as gender, race, sexual orientation, social class and disability, among others, intersect and produce complex, specific forms of oppression. Recognizing these intersections is key to designing strategies that address inequality comprehensively and effectively, promoting a social justice that takes into account every dimension of identity and human experience. ¿Por qué luchamos? Our organization is now EDcertified by NGOsource . The #equivalencydetermination certificate is now part of the NGOsource repository and can be requested by donors. For more information about NGOsource, visit www.ngosource.org We are committed to the fight against violence and discrimination That's why we have a Regulation for the Prevention of and Response to Situations of Violence and Discrimination. This regulation applies to members, volunteers and service providers of Más Igualdad Perú. Read our Regulation Reglamento contra la violencia

Conoce el Reglamento contra la violencia y discriminación hacia personas LGBTIQ+ impulsado por Más Igualdad Perú. VIEW AS PDF Regulation for the prevention of and response to situations of violence, discrimination and sexual exploitation for members, volunteers and service providers of Más Igualdad Perú TITLE I GENERAL PROVISIONS Article 1: Scope and field of application This regulation applies to the entire Más Igualdad Perú team — that is, every associated member, volunteer or service provider of the Asociación Civil Más Igualdad Perú ("the Association") who takes part actively or while on leave, whether in person or virtually, and whether on a part-time or full-time basis, in the Association's activities. Violence, discrimination or harassment occurring within or outside the Association's premises, in spaces where its activities take place, through virtual channels, or in any other setting where another member, volunteer or service provider (even outside of the Association's own activities) of Más Igualdad Perú is present, is subject to sanction. Any form of violence based on gender, ethnic origin, age, among other grounds, is also considered a form of discrimination. This conduct is also subject to sanction when reported by a person who is not part of the Association and has no connection to it, provided that the member, volunteer or service provider who is reported is part of the Más Igualdad team. In applicable cases, a referral path will be provided for psychological and legal support for victims (including minors), for the purposes of appropriate support, in accordance with Law 30364 and national regulations regarding the protection of victims of violence. Article 2: Principles and approaches Sexual and gender diversity approach This methodological approach recognizes the inequalities and asymmetrical power relations rooted in gender, in the form of roles and behaviors assumed differently by men and women, which are not natural but socially and culturally constructed. Analyzing all forms of violence and discrimination through a gender lens makes it possible to recognize the vulnerabilities, risk factors and differentiated impacts affecting certain groups, such as women and lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex people. This is because violence carried out on the basis of sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, or bodily diversity generally occurs as a form of punishment for stepping outside traditionally established gender norms. Human Rights approach Human rights are inherent to all human beings without distinction. They are inalienable, cannot be suspended, and must be guaranteed without discrimination. This approach recognizes that respecting, protecting and promoting human rights are also primary obligations for any organization, and that its operations, conduct and internal procedures must reflect that. Intersectional approach This approach recognizes the existence of complex systems of oppression — such as gender, ethnic origin, disability and other characteristics — that operate in parallel, and that allow for a comprehensive understanding of experiences of violence, discrimination and harassment. Applying this approach to case analysis means examining and recognizing how variables such as gender, sexual orientation, disability, authority, hierarchy, ethnic origin and economic situation combine to create situations of inequality between the victim and their aggressor. Principle of non-revictimization This principle addresses the need to prevent victims from reliving the violence they experienced through repeated retelling of events, in interviews, questionnaires, confrontations and other settings where they are required to recount the facts again, which can cause emotional distress. Principle of mental health This principle addresses the need to prioritize the protection of the mental health of people involved in investigation processes for cases of violence, with special consideration for complainants or victims of any form of violence or discrimination. It also emphasizes promoting mental health and providing early attention and intervention in terms of repair and restoration following situations of violence or discrimination. Principle of non-punitiveness This principle addresses the need to move beyond a punitive approach toward implementing restorative and reparative measures in situations and cases of violence and discrimination. This means prioritizing actions aimed at repairing harm to the victim and reintegrating the person who committed the aggression, always taking proportionality and mental health care into account, in addition to any sanctions that may result from the investigation process. Victim-centered approach This approach means giving primary consideration to the opinions and decisions of victims within the framework of any procedure that is established and that concerns them. It also means that the design and implementation of all prevention, care, investigation and reparation actions must take into account their particular interests, experiences and needs. Article 3: Glossary Sexual Harassment Harassment is a form of violence involving unwanted conduct of a sexual nature or sexist connotation directed at a person, which can create an intimidating, hostile or humiliating environment, or which can affect that person's work, education, or any other activity or situation. In these cases, there is no need to prove rejection or repetition of the conduct. Sexist conduct includes mockery or jokes based on gender stereotypes that promote forms of violence or discrimination, or that imply the subordination of one sex, gender identity/expression relative to another. Complainant A person who reports to the Association (through any of its platforms or via social media) a member, volunteer or service provider of Más Igualdad Perú for the suspected or actual commission of acts of sexual harassment, discrimination or violence. This person may or may not be a member of the Más Igualdad Perú team. Reported Person Any person who has been reported due to suspected or actual conduct involving sexual harassment, discrimination or violence. This person must be part of the Más Igualdad Perú team Investigated Person Any person against whom a disciplinary proceeding is initiated following a report due to suspected or actual conduct involving sexual harassment, discrimination or violence. This person must be part of the Más Igualdad Perú team. Sexual orientation The capacity to feel emotional or sexual attraction toward other people based on gender. It exists along a continuous spectrum between homosexuality, bisexuality and heterosexuality, and includes orientations such as pansexuality. It also recognizes the existence of people within the greysexual spectrum, meaning asexual and demisexual people. Gender identity Gender is a system that classifies people as men and women based on the appearance of their genitals. Gender identity is a person's subjective, personal sense of whether or not they identify with their assigned gender and sex. People may feel that their assigned gender matches their identity (cisgender / cis) or may not (transgender, trans, or non-binary). Gender identities vary widely, and some examples include "woman," "feminine," "non-binary," "man," "masculine," "queer," "fluid," etc. Bodily diversity Bodily diversity refers to a wide range of bodily presentations — for example, sexual anatomy that extends beyond the male/female binary (intersex), as well as other body types that experience oppression, such as fat bodies. Power relations Systems that define relationships between subjects or groups hierarchically. Symbolic or direct domination techniques are used to exert power. Some forms of power relations run through variables such as gender, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, embodiment, disability, ethnic and cultural factors, and race. Victim A person identified as having suffered violence, discrimination or harassment at the hands of the investigated person. Gender-based violence This is any act or omission identified as violence against a person or group of people on the basis of gender, which seriously restricts the ability of women and LGBTIQ people (or those perceived as such) to enjoy their rights and freedoms, through relationships of domination, submission and subordination. In these types of situations, the specific acts affecting the dynamic between the victim and the reported person must be investigated, providing an appropriate perspective for assessing the case. Sexual violence Any sexual act without the consent of the person it is directed at. This can include, without limitation, conduct such as forced nudity, attempted sexual acts, unwanted sexual comments or insinuations, or acts intended to commercialize or coerce sexuality, committed by any person regardless of their relationship to the victim, in any setting. It may include acts that do not involve penetration or even any physical contact at all. Violence or threats do not need to be present for sexual violence to be considered to have occurred. Rape Rape is defined as "the physically forced penetration, or penetration using other means of coercion however slight, of the vulva, anus or mouth, using a penis, other body parts or an object. Attempting to carry out any of the actions mentioned is known as attempted rape. Rape of a person carried out by two or more perpetrators is called gang rape." Violence or threats do not need to be present for rape to be considered to have occurred. Article 4: Definition and typology Violence Violence is the intentional or unintentional use of force or power, whether actual or as a threat, against another person or group of people, causing — or likely to cause — injury, death, psychological harm, disorders, deprivation, or harm of any kind. The Association recognizes and respects current legislation, and the definitions contained in Law 30364 and its Regulations, as well as the Criminal Code, will apply for describing conduct subject to sanction. Without limiting the above, this regulation is not limited solely to such conduct; for the purposes of applying this Regulation, violence may manifest, for example, through the following conduct, by type: Sexual violence Rape or attempted rape Touching of a sexual nature An implicit or explicit promise to the victim of preferential or beneficial treatment regarding their current or future situation in exchange for sexual favors. Threats through which conduct of a sexual nature not wanted by the victim, and that attacks or injures their dignity, is implicitly or explicitly demanded. Use of language of a sexual nature or sexist connotation (written or spoken), sexual insinuations, sexual propositions, obscene gestures, or the display through any medium of sexual content, that is unbearable, hostile, humiliating or offensive to the victim. Bodily approaches, brushing, touching or other physical conduct of a sexual nature that is offensive to or unwanted by the victim. Calls, messages and virtual contact with sexual content, or insistence on unwanted sexual or intimate contact with the victim. Offensive or hostile treatment in response to the rejection of advances of a sexual nature or connotation. Forced nudity Physical violence Hitting, kicking, directly or using an object, to any part of the body Hitting, kicking, directly or using an object, against a wall or other objects or structures, in the victim's presence or with the intent to threaten them. Symbolic violence Messages, icons or signs that convey and reproduce relationships of domination, inequality and discrimination that normalize or justify subordination and violence, as well as those that render certain groups of people invisible. Mockery or statements that justify the subordination of women and/or violence based on gender, race, class, bodily diversity, disability, among others. Economic violence Any act or omission that causes harm or suffering by undermining economic or financial resources. Interference with the possession, holding or ownership of property. The loss, removal, destruction, withholding or wrongful appropriation of objects, work tools, personal documents, property, assets and financial rights. Limiting the economic resources allocated to meet a person's needs, or depriving them of the resources essential for a dignified life; as well as evading the fulfillment of support obligations. Limiting or controlling their income, as well as paying a lower salary for the same work within the same workplace. Psychological and verbal violence Insults, offensive language intended to harm the other person. Manipulation and coercion Using names or pronouns that the other person does not identify with Statements that lower a person's self-esteem Constant criticism of the person or their performance Passive-aggressive treatment (a communication pattern in which negative thoughts or feelings are not expressed openly and directly, but instead through "hints" or indirect references. This is perceived as a disconnect between what the person says and what they do) Discrimination Any act of "distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference, in any public or private sphere, that has the purpose or effect of nullifying or limiting the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of one or more fundamental rights, as well as their promotion or encouragement. Discrimination can be based on grounds of nationality, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, language, religion, cultural identity, political or other opinions, social origin, socioeconomic status, education level, migratory, refugee, repatriated, stateless or internally displaced status, disability, genetic characteristics, mental or physical health condition, including infectious disease, incapacitating psychological condition, or any other."

Article 7: Distribution of the regulation This regulation must be published on the institution's website and sent to every member, volunteer or service provider. Its content must also be detailed in the sessions proposed in Article 6. Article 8. Adopting measures to respect gender identity Any person who is part of Más Igualdad or connected to it may request to be referred to using the pronouns and/or name with which they identify. This includes use of the institutional email address or any other identification method designated by the Association. In the case of contracts and the issuance of certificates or letters, at the request of the interested party, the Association may additionally issue them using the names and pronouns with which the person identifies, or using initials. This can be requested through any written channel (email, social media) or verbally to any member of the Board of Directors or coordination staff. TITLE III: Disciplinary procedures Article 9: Commission for the investigation and sanctioning of violence This commission is ideally made up of one (1) member of the Board of Directors, one (1) person heading one of the coordination areas (Communications, Political Advocacy, Education and Research, Projects), and one (1) associated member. The Board of Directors selects this commission on a case-by-case basis, taking into account factors such as conflicts of interest, party representation appropriate to the case, gender parity, and the suitability of the members (knowledge and skills). It is recommended that at least one person with legal training and one with training in psychology/psychotherapy always be present (for gathering testimony and providing emotional support). Reported persons may not be part of the Commission, nor may their partner, family member, or anyone with whom they have a romantic or sexual relationship. It is important that any Commission member who believes they are not fit to conduct the investigation due to personal, emotional, or any other type of bias immediately inform the Board of Directors so they can be excluded from participating. The composition of the Commission varies for each case. The Board of Directors will propose members' inclusion on the Commission through any means, briefly stating the indications or facts prompting the investigation, and members will have a 24-hour period to accept or decline, which may or may not be based on the grounds described in the previous paragraph. Even in the event of declining, the member who received the proposal commits to maintaining confidentiality regarding the facts or indications known up to that point. Article 10: Receiving reports Reports may be submitted verbally or in writing to any member of the Board of Directors or coordination staff, through any channel (email, Más Igualdad's networks, or in person). If received by coordination staff, the report must be passed on to a member of the Board of Directors within no more than 24 hours. Reports may be made regardless of when the events occurred — that is, they are valid as long as they involve members of the Más Igualdad team, even prior to their joining the Association. 10.1 Reports *regarding events from more than 12 months prior* may only be made with the knowledge and consent of the victim. Under no circumstances may the sanctioning process be initiated by the aggressor without the victim's consent, in order to avoid revictimization. 10.2 If a situation of violence or discrimination is reported that the victim is unaware of or does not consent *to being reported*, the case will only be opened if the situation occurred *no more than 6 months prior* and may put other people at risk, *with the sole purpose of informing the relevant state institutions of the facts*. 10.3. If no such risk exists, the matter will be handled internally through the psychological team. This means the victim's testimony will not be requested, in order to avoid revictimization. 10.4 Once a report is received, within no more than 24 hours the person must be offered the physical and psychological care channels available through the institution or offered at the state level. Any report issued as a result of the care received may serve as supporting evidence if the victim considers it relevant. Article 11: Protective measures Once a report is received, the reported person may be preventively removed from the organization. Responsibility for their duties will be transferred to another person. If the reported person is an external consultant or service provider under a services agreement, they will be asked to suspend the agreement until the investigation against them concludes. The victim or complainant will receive psychological support and containment during the investigation from the psychological team, if they require it. The victim will be informed about the state services and judicial processes available to them, should there be indications of facts that could be reported to or addressed by state authorities. Reassigning the reported person to an area or space where they have no contact with the complainant (for example, changing their Coordination area). Requesting the relevant authority to issue a legal protection order, if the situation requires it. Any other measure requested by the victim or deemed appropriate by the Committee. Protective measures may be replaced or expanded at the request of the victim, provided this is duly justified. Article 12: Investigation and presentation of defenses When the Board of Directors becomes aware of a report, it must form the Investigating Commission within 48 hours, in accordance with the provisions of Article 9 of this Regulation. Once formed, the Commission will review the report and any documents that may have been submitted. If the report was filed at the request of a party, the Commission will contact the complainant and the victim, if they are different people, and inform them of the start of proceedings and the steps to follow. The Commission has 24 hours to formally notify the reported person, via email or any other written means, that an investigation will take place and that they must submit their defense within the following three (3) calendar days after being notified of the report or the facts known to the Commission at that point, in the case of an investigation opened on its own initiative. Both the reported person and the complainant may also submit any supporting evidence in written, audiovisual or photographic format. The Investigating Commission may request testimony from witnesses, external parties, or members of the association, who will be protected through confidentiality or anonymity. Protective measures may also be applied to those participating as witnesses, provided they request it or the evaluation of the case warrants it. The Investigating Commission, through the presidency or executive direction, may request information from other organizations about proceedings or reports against the investigated person, provided the identity of victims/complainants and witnesses is protected. The victim's testimony is requested; this interview will be conducted only once, or the victim may submit their statement in written, signed form through a Commission member. This testimony will be considered supporting evidence and must be assessed and addressed in the final ruling. If the victim has already given a statement to state, labor, or other authorities, that testimony will be preferred over conducting a new interview, provided the victim authorizes it. In cases of sexual violence, which are typically characterized by occurring in the absence of anyone other than the victim and their aggressor, graphic or documentary evidence cannot be expected to exist. For this reason, the victim's statement constitutes fundamental evidence regarding the incident. If only testimonial evidence exists, psychological and legal opinions may be requested from external partners (forming an advisory team). An investigation report must be issued within a maximum of 15 calendar days from the formation of the Investigating Commission. This report must include a summary of the facts, a list of supporting evidence, a summary of the defense presented, and recommendations regarding sanctions (measures against the reported person) and reparations (measures in favor of the complainant). It must also include any risk factors identified in the specific case, in order to suggest changes to Más Igualdad's structures, dynamics or processes that could prevent similar cases in the future. The report will be submitted to the Board of Directors, which must issue the final resolution of the case within ten (10) calendar days. Within that period, it must forward the report to the reported person and the victim so they can present their arguments within three (3) days. Once issued, the resolution must be communicated to the complainant, the victim, and the members of the Más Igualdad team within no more than ten (10) calendar days. The resolution that concludes the internal proceeding cannot be appealed. Notwithstanding this, upon learning of new facts or evidence related to the report, the Commission may reconvene to evaluate them and forward them to the reported person. Within a period of two (2) days, the reported person must present their defense regarding the new facts, and the Commission must issue a report within five days. Learning of new facts or evidence may result in a change to the sanction. If the reported person or the complainant wishes to request reconsideration of the Board of Directors' decision, this may only be requested if new information is available, and must be requested within no more than 1 week from the issuance of the resolution. Article 13: Investigations initiated on the Association's own accord The Board of Directors must initiate investigations on its own accord upon detecting internal or external indications involving members of the Más Igualdad team. Based on this, they will form the Commission and open an investigation, always following the specifications of Article 10 of this regulation. Article 14: Reporting to the Public Prosecutor's Office If indications of a crime are identified during or as a result of the investigation, the Committee is obligated to inform the Board of Directors and proceed to report the relevant facts to the Public Prosecutor's Office. The maximum period for notifying the Public Prosecutor's Office is 24 hours from when the facts became known or were confirmed as a result of the investigation. TITLE IV: Sanctions and reparations Article 15: Criteria for evaluating the adoption of sanctions and reparations Following a victim-centered, gender-based and intersectional approach, an analysis must be conducted using criteria of reasonableness and proportionality, taking into account the victim's perception and assessment, obtained through their testimony. Article 16: Sanctions Written reprimand Suspension (no less than 1 month and no more than 6 months) Permanent removal Disqualification from holding positions on the Board of Directors or in Coordination areas Disqualification from serving as a spokesperson Article 17: Reparative measures It is suggested that reparative measures be included, at the victim's request and with the consent of the sanctioned person. These may include: Covering the cost of the victim's psychological care (duration assessed by the psychological team) Mediation and reparative dialogue (mediated by a psychotherapist) Attending psychological therapy (sanctioned person) with the goal of recognizing acts of violence and managing behavior. Acknowledging and offering a public apology for the violence committed. Payment of compensation for harm to the victim's life plan, etc. Other measures the victim may propose Article 18: Communication and distribution of the resolution If deemed necessary (imminent danger to other people), and taking into account the content of the resolution, the facts will be shared with other organizations or institutions, with the aim of preventing further situations of violence, without disclosing the identifying information of the victim(s) involved or any reference that would make them identifiable. This action may also be taken at the victim's request. This decision must follow criteria of proportionality and consider the mental health of everyone involved. Likewise, the facts that prompted the proceeding, the handling of the report, and the sanction decision adopted against the reported person may be published on Más Igualdad's official website and across all its social media, safeguarding the identity of victims when they request it or when the Board of Directors determines it is warranted due to the severity of the events. In the case of a resolution to archive or dismiss the report, the same measures will also apply at the request of the reported person. TITLE V: Additional measures Article 19: Additional measures Notwithstanding any additional measures the Investigating Commission identifies in specific cases, or even absent such measures, the Board of Directors must analyze the organizational factors that may be enabling or contributing to acts of violence, discrimination or harassment. Article 20: General assembly session to inform members of the facts The facts that prompted the investigation, as well as the measures adopted by the Board of Directors, will be shared with associated members by email. If the Board of Directors deems it appropriate, it may also convene a session to inform members of these facts. A general assembly session may also be requested by any member, in which case the topic must be placed on the agenda of the organization's next session. At that session, any member may bring to the attention of the Board of Directors new facts or evidence referred to in item 13 of Article 12 of this Regulation, which will trigger the procedure established there. Likewise, once the facts and decision have been shared with Más Igualdad's members, any member of the association who identifies organizational factors that may have contributed to or enabled these acts of violence, discrimination or sexual harassment may propose, at that same moment or in the following days, additional measures to prevent such acts from recurring. Article 20: System against violence, discrimination and harassment In light of the diverse and evolving forms that violence, discrimination and sexual harassment can take, the Board of Directors must evaluate the measures adopted to prevent, address and sanction such conduct during at least one annual session. For this purpose, all reports filed and processed since the last annual session in which the topic was addressed will be taken into account. The purpose of this system is to feed back into this regulation and any other management tool with preventive measures, or measures that could improve the handling and sanctioning of violence, discrimination and sexual harassment, as well as to assess the organization's dynamics and the areas where incidents of violence, discrimination or harassment might arise. The Board of Directors may also take into account new understandings that emerge regarding these forms of violence, as well as good practices adopted by other organizations that could be implemented at Más Igualdad. Preferably, this session will take place before the annual training held for all Más Igualdad members, so that the training can be designed and adapted to the needs the Board of Directors identifies during its annual session. reglampdf Download the regulation as a PDF

You can call me Cathe As a bisexual person, I know it can be hard to find professionals who understand diversity. In this space you can count on "we listen, we don't judge," and from there I'll support you and provide tools that can help you. Hi, I'm Rodrigo Flores! But you can call me Ro As a gay guy who experienced LGBT-phobic bullying at school, I'm personally committed to helping all people of diversity find a safe space where they can express themselves without fear of being hurt. How did this idea come about? We know it's hard to find mental health professionals who can provide you with proper, discrimination-free care when you're an LGBTIQ+ person. On top of that, money is often an obstacle.That's why we came up with the idea of offering a service that lets us connect with you, find out what's going on, help you however we can, and, if needed, refer you to mental health professionals who can provide you with proper care within your ability to pay.Rainbow Emotional First-Aid Kit is a service we offer free of charge, staffed by volunteer psychologists from Más Igualdad. What is psychological counseling? Psychological counseling is a process that helps you understand the things that are happening or the problems you might be facing, so that you can explore possible solutions, get to know yourself better, and identify the resources you have to cope with whatever is affecting your wellbeing. It differs from psychotherapy in that it does not address more complex psychological issues. How can I get psychiatric care or couples therapy? First you'll need to access the regular service, via chat or video call, and talk with one of our psychologists. After that session, you'll be referred to the service you need:Psychiatric consultation:We will provide you with an appointment with a psychiatrist who takes an affirmative approach, who will assess your needs. Afterward, if you wish to pursue treatment, we can refer you to a specialist or share contacts so you can arrange it privately. This service does not cover medication or follow-up for long-term treatment.Support for couples:We will provide you with an appointment with a psychologist specialized in LGBTIQ+ couples, and offer up to 4 support sessions, depending on the case.Afterward, if you wish to pursue treatment, we can refer you to a specialist.In both cases, you can request a reduced rate if you need one. What is psychological first aid? If something has happened that has caused you an emotional crisis, we can help you stabilize. We all go through situations that destabilize us: an incident of violence, the death of a loved one, the ending of a relationship, financial troubles, etc., and we want to listen to you and support you through this difficult time. What issues can we help with? Relationship problems, situations of discrimination or violence, if you're questioning your gender identity or sexual orientation, symptoms like depression or anxiety, not knowing what to do about the future, and more! What does the referral involve? Do I have to pay anything? If our volunteer psychologists find that you need personalized, specialized care (psychotherapy or psychiatric care), they will refer you to a mental health professional who can provide you with discrimination-free care. These are LGBTI people or allies who have studied psychology or psychiatry and have agreed to offer reduced rates (lower than their regular fees) to see you. Once we assign you a professional, we will give you their contact information — just let them know you're coming from Más Igualdad. What is the care like? Why do I have to fill out a form? Who will have access to my information? The first time you message us, we'll greet you and ask you to fill out a Google form. This lets us get to know you a little, address you by your correct pronouns, and understand your ability to pay so we can provide you with better care. This information will only be accessible to Más Igualdad's psychologists, who are legally required to keep it confidential. That said, we hope to be able to compile statistics (general data) to better understand who is requesting the service, so it's possible that in the future we'll share charts showing the most common issues we've addressed, without revealing any names. Care is provided in writing via WhatsApp. Requests are handled in the order received. To participate:Message us through this link.One of our psychologists will get in touch with you and you'll be able to chat with them.Leave us your feedback on the care you received. What if I'm not Peruvian? We can help you too! In Peru there are many Venezuelan LGBTI siblings who need care, as well as people of other nationalities living here. What is the affirmative approach? It's an approach that every psychologist who treats LGBTI people should have. This approach ensures that there's no discrimination or prejudice during care, and that the professional truly focuses on what you need to feel better. How many times can I use the Rainbow Emotional First-Aid Kit? You can use the service twice, to give a chance to people who have never used it before. If you message us a third time, we'll look into the best way to refer you so you can receive specialized care.
