This project aims to promote gender equality and combat domestic violence through staff training exchanges between partner organizations in 6 European countries. The partners will gain expertise in non-formal educational methods regarding gender issues and domestic violence prevention. They will then use this expertise to educate victims of domestic violence and empower at-risk groups through guidance, counseling, and awareness campaigns. The project seeks to develop strong European cooperation against domestic violence and challenge patriarchal mentalities as a root cause through shared learning and best practices.
