France, E.O. Sharp Minds – Greece, Association for Intercultural Dialogue – Romania, and
Tokat Ekonomik Kalkinma Ve Meslek Edindirme Dernegi – Turkey.
SHE project answers to the lack of a social education from a gender perspective, whose direct
consequence is the ignorance of the rights by the citizens and implicitly the lack of social and
legal reaction to the situations of discrimination.
This project provides learning opportunities for the partners involved in gender education.
The key point is how to develop competencies, strategies and practices to combat and prevent
domestic violence for adult people, for women victims of domestic violence belonging both to
vulnerable groups and mainstream society empowering them to stand against domestic
violence and for social inclusion. Working with women who suffer double discrimination -
gender discrimination and ethnic/racial discrimination (migrants, refugees, Roma people) –
partner organizations will provide consultancy regarding their rights in line with national
legislation and Istanbul Convention, tackle prejudices and gender stereotypes, norms, attitudes
and behaviors; they will become more capable to change their attitudes towards domestic
violence and to stand against it, more trusted and self-confidence facilitating their social
inclusion.
