Description
The project addresses the problem of an ineffective system of support for families affected by domestic violence. The research we conducted in 2021 revealed that people experiencing violence do not receive adequate help, even when they call for it. Shame, fear and lack of self-confidence prevent them from deciding to change. Employees of social institutions dealing with domestic violence also feel powerless. They experience professional burnout, become indifferent to the problem and treat victims of violence with disrespect. Institutions and organisations do not cooperate with each other and their employees’ competences are too low. Social workers do not receive psychological support. Therefore, our project is addressed to families experiencing violence, employees of social institutions and witnesses of violence. We will carry out a social campaign, create a social cluster, organize workshops for the employees of social institutions and two conferences. We will develop a case management and implement a support offer in two institutions. We will exchange experiences and good practices with a partner from Iceland – a centre for victims of violence Bjarkarhlíð.
Summary of project results
THE PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT was to improve the quality of services for families experiencing violence
As part of the project, the "Bufor" point was created, where support is provided for people experiencing violence from the districts of Legnica and Legnica district. The point was created based on the experience of the Partner from Iceland Bjarkahlid.
The model implemented in the Raduga Foundation is based on the cooperation of various organizations and institutions in the field of helping people experiencing violence. The Raduga Foundation is responsible for contacting the victim and reporting the need for intervention/assistance to other entities. Thanks to this solution, assistance is provided in one place and victims of violence do not experience additional trauma when telling another person about their difficult experiences.
Partner Bjarkahlid increased their knowledge of how to talk to migrant women. The model created as part of the project will allow our organizations to work for migrants experiencing violence.
Bjarkahlid developed a BASIC OF GOOD PRACTICES together with the "Systemic model of action to help a family experiencing violence" He conducted workshops with 8 Polish women, during which he tested the products of intellectual work.
