Description

Based on statistics the relationship violence is a more and more serious problem needing urgent intervention in Hungary as well. The aim of our project is to increase the condemnation of violence against women and relationship violence among the members of the local community, to ameliorate social skills of 13-18 year old (family life basic training focusing especially on nonviolent communication and anger management), to inform women during workshops and consultations in order to avoid being a victim, to transfer information to teachers about the prevention of relationship violence, by the means of a traveling exhibition, billboards, city lights, teaching boards, prevention short film and different types of flyers. By this project we intend to reduce the incidence of relationship violence and to strengthen the protection against this phenomenon among different target groups.
