Description

According to official reports the problem of domestic violence affects more than four thousand people in the Polish province of Warmińsko-Mazurskie. However, many cases of domestic violence are not reported. Institutions in our region providing assistance to victims do not offer comprehensive support. The project provides comprehensive assistance and support for victims of domestic violence tailored to individual needs. The beneficiaries of the project are people and families affected by domestic violence living in the Warmińsko-Mazurskie province as well as the local community. The expected results of the project include the development of comprehensive preventive programs for people affected by domestic violence and the development of infrastructural facilities necessary to carry out these activities. Furthermore, two rooms will be adopted where the prevention programs will be carried out. Participants will learn how to express their emotions and overcome fear of people, which will increase their self-esteem. Moreover, persons working with victims of domestic violence will expand their knowledge in the field.
