OF COURAGE AWARD
REF: STATE 99729
1. (U) Embassy San Salvador is pleased to nominate Carmen
Cordova for the 2009 Secretary's award for international
women of courage, per reftel.
2, (U) Nominee: Maria del Carmen Cordova Mejia
3. (SBU) Date of Birth: September 12, 1967
4. (U) Citizenship: Salvadoran
5. (U) Title and Institution: Social Worker/Territorial
Manager, National Council for Public Safety/Projovenes
Program
6. (SBU) Contact phone number: 503-7930-1256
7. (SBU) Contact email: ccordova@projovenes.gob.sv
8. (U) Justification: Cordova has several years experience
working directly with at-risk youth, gang members, community
leaders, and authorities in crime prevention programs. She
has been working with CNSP/Projovenes for about 3 years.
Prior to this, she was an alternate deputy in the Salvadoran
Legislative Assembly. Her main strength lies in community
organization and the ability to motivate important community
leaders and youth for crime prevention activities. As part
of the CNSP / Projovenes team, she is responsible for
coordinating the work of several project promoters. She has
extensive contacts with active gang members, and has obtained
their "authorization" to conduct crime prevention activities
in high risk neighborhoods.
9. (U) Recently, she returned to her car after a meeting in
the Corazon de Maria sector of San Salvador to discover that
it had been broken into and that her digital camera was
missing. She called the police, returned to the community,
and spoke directly to the gang leader, who led her to the
"store" where the camera was being sold. She then filed an
official complaint with the National Civilian Police and got
them to increase their patrols in this sector.
10. (U) Cordova has been notified of her nomination and
would be willing to travel to the United States if requested.
