Description
The proposed project “TimeToTalk”, with a duration of 14 months, will be implemented by Ladies Union of Drama – House of Open Hospitality (LDU-HOH). It aims to address the problem of the lack of organizations in the Prefecture of Drama that work with the perpetrators of gender-based violence. Furthermore, it aims to provide more effective support to victims of gender-based violence. Finally, it seeks to address the lack of information regarding the developing issue of new emerging forms of gender-based violence in the Cyberspace, for example cyber stalking.
The goal of the proposed project is to promote equality, to prevent and combat the phenomenon of gender-based violence, as well as its deeper causes through working with the perpetrator, the sensitization and awareness-raising of university students and adolescents about the new forms of online abuse.
The target groups of the proposed project are the perpetrators of gender-based violence, the victims, as well as the adolescents, their professors and university students.
The Norwegian organization “Alternative to Violence” will provide expert training to LDU-HOH regarding counseling services for perpetrators and LDU-HOH will provide counseling services to the perpetrators of gender-based violence. In addition, LDU-HOH will be provided training regarding more effective aid for the victims of gender-based violence and will provide support to them. Moreover, educational activities will be implemented for adolescents and professors, through which they will be informed and sensitized about the new forms of gender-based violence in the Cyberspace in order to be able to prevent it. Furthermore, a panhellenic university research will be conducted on students, concerning the new emerging forms of gender-based violence in the Cyberspace. The proposed project will be implemented by LDU-HOH without a partner.
