GENDER VIOLENCE PREVENTION BEGINS WITH US

The project “Gender Violence Prevention begins with us” is a three-year (2019-2022) Erasmus+ project involving five schools from Italy (Coordinator), France, Portugal, Latvia and Spain.

The alarming data on the increase of violence against women in all Western countries and especially against young women has led us, schools from different European countries, to join our efforts to work in the prevention of violence against women.
Our main goal was to promote a change in a culture based on stereotypes that diminish the role of women in contemporary society. We started from the deconstruction of pre-constituted models such as the model of masculinity or the myths of romantic love to provide other fairer and more equitable models.

Here are collected all our experiences, productions and the formal agreements between our school with the aim of to promote in new generations a culture and a greater awareness on gender issues.


 

Violence against women is perhaps the most shameful human rights violation. And, it is perhaps the most pervasive. It knows no boundaries of geography, culture or wealth. As long as it continues, we cannot claim to be making real progress towards equality, development and peace.
