The project "Recognising and helping victims of gender-based violence" aims to bridge the lack of visibility and support for victims and survivors of gender-based violence, to improve understanding of factors of abuse and psychological consequences, and above all to promote the prevention of violence.
The project was attended by people from Messina and surroundings and some international students, and was set according to non-formal education. During the week all participants first learned to know each other and to create a bond (as far as possible), so as to better assimilate the concepts on gender violence learned in the days to follow through stimulating group work, fun and exciting. There were meetings to listen to the testimonies of those who help women who have suffered gender violence, and a meeting with a martial arts master for a basic self-defense lesson. Each participant has learned some more about the topic but also something more from himself.
