Description
The ATALANTA PROJECT aims to empower the personal, social and financial autonomy of women in vulnerable situations. It seeks to encourage full social and labour integration processes as well as a balanced and equitable participation of women and men in all spheres of life. The project’s overall aim is to enhance the employability (both as employed and self-employed) of women in vulnerable situations, particularly of those who are victims of gender-based violence. This implies bolstering networking, social economy and entrepreneurship.
