Description
The aim of the project is to increase assistance to people affected by domestic violence in the Lubuskie Province. We want to complement the activities of public institutions dealing with counteracting the effects of violence and to build a community support mechanism for people experiencing violence. The project is a response to the diagnosed problem of violence occurring in the Lubuskie Province. It is estimated that it concerns as many as 2 061 people. As part of the project, we are carrying out prevention activities in the form of workshops developing the social competences of young people. We build a local network of community cooperation between public institutions, NGOs and entrepreneurs. We create and run sheltered housing for 5 families affected by violence, to which we provide specialist support. We implement a crisis intervention model in situations of violence using a hotline, neighbourhood support and members of a local network. We organise networking meetings. We run an information campaign on the manifestations of domestic violence and how to respond. We target 306 people in the project and provide direct support to 126 people. Our partner is the Icelandic Centre for Human Rights. The project runs from November 2022 to October 2023
