construction of sustainable societies. Alternatives participates in local and international mobilizations to strengthen collective rights.<\/p><p>Our approach is grounded in the solidity of the partnership established with actors from the Global South and the North: a partnership based on solidarity, where reciprocity, collaboration, and shared action are central. Local actors are actively engaged in processes of social change, serving as both the origin and the driving force behind them. Alternatives carries out education and awareness initiatives rooted in a shared vision of social transformation, as an extension of all our action in international solidarity.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8c927f5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8c927f5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Institutional policies<\/h3><h5>Here are the current Alternatives policies:<\/h5><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternatives.ca\/documents\/politiques\/code-de-conduite-pour-combattre-les-violences-sexuelles-%20au-sein-des-petites-%20et-%20moyennes-oci-2019.pdf\">Code of Conduct to Combat Sexual Violence in Small and Medium Sized OICs<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who are we?
