Description

The main activities of the project, which the promoter will implement in the Bratislava and Prešov regions, are:

1.   Capacity building and counselling for women experiencing violence in partnerships, expansion of specialised services for victims of sexual violence and support services for children

2.   Therapeutic and support groups for women who have experienced partner and sexual violence and trauma

3.   Awareness campaign on stalking, cyberstalking and technological security

4.   Awareness-raising campaign on gender-based violence

5.   Education for the professional public aimed at raising awareness of gender-based violence

Gender-based violence against women and their children is one of the most severe human rights violations. Eliminating its causes leads to the improvement of the position of women in all areas of their lives. In this sense, The promoter considers the presented project to be sovereignly focused on the development of gender equality and on the improvement of the position of women in society. Counselling will reflect on the specifics of individual vulnerable groups of women, as well as other activities will be available to all women regardless of age, race, religion, disability. Procurement of services within the project will be transparent and anti-corruption.
