United Violet- UNITED and empowered women in fighting VIOlence through Learning, self-Expression and Training stems from the need to provide educators with innovative and interactive tools to combat violence against women by promoting students' self-expression and creativity. By improving the knowledge of educational staff on gender-based violence and its root causes, the project aims to empower women and transgender people, build resilience and combat gender discrimination.
The project seeks to address an urgent social problem: the spread of GBV (gender-based violence) and the urgent need for education and empowerment to combat it. By focusing on raising awareness, promoting self-expression and providing educators with the necessary skills, United Violet aspires to create safer and more inclusive communities.
