The Community Corrective Processes Methodology (ProCC) is a theoretical and methodological framework with nearly 50 years of practical application, situated within the domain of community intervention. Its object of study and intervention encompasses the Weights of Daily Life. The Methodology aims to promote critical perspectives on the way of life and foster the development of individual and social protagonism, autonomy, and participatory action among the population in addressing their contradictions.


ProCC adopts a targeted approach generally directed at the entire community, recognizing that collectively, individuals participate in both hegemonic and non-healthy institutionalized practices. To this end, various programs are designed —such as Men's Program, Women's Program, Father and Mother's School, Teacher Role Program, Caregivers' Program, among others— that rigorously respond to the specific needs of the population.


The inclusion of the gender variable in community interventions is fundamental for promoting equality and enhancing program effectiveness. This work describes the integration of gender considerations within various ProCC programs, highlighting the specific approaches employed according to the particular needs of each groups. It reviews reflection and empowerment strategies, as well as professional training in these areas. The incorporation of gender has facilitated the promotion of gender dialogue and the implementation of contextually tailored interventions.


An increased sensitivity and competence among professionals in addressing gender issues have been observed, resulting in more inclusive and effective outcomes. Explicitly addressing gender from a relational and systemic perspective enriches community interventions and contributes to social transformation. Experience demonstrates that working with the gender variable within the ProCC methodology itself strengthens processes of change, community development, equality, and social justice.
