Informational Meetings on Violence Prevention

Women Support Centers actively continue informational meetings aimed at raising public awareness, increasing the number of informed citizens, preventing domestic violence, and supporting and protecting victims.

The meetings are attended by kindergarten teachers, school teachers, parents, and active representatives of communities. This diverse involvement facilitates the exchange of experiences and the identification of cases.

According to the participants, domestic violence remains a serious social problem. A new threat, against women using online technologies, was noted. According to them it is especially important to have access to information about services and programs that provide assistance and protection to victims of violence.

Women support centers will continue such informational activities to give women knowledge, support, and a sense of security.

The mood and attitude of participants were reflected in their feedback:

"Domestic violence is manifested itself in new forms, and new threats have emerged. Therefore, we need to help women at the early stages, while the problem can still be resolved."

The project is implemented with the support of the organization Brot
