The project Active Preventers and Active Bystanders: Preventing Gender-Based Violence in youth’s life, was developed under the open call "Gender Equality Promoted and Gender-Based Violence Combatted" of the Active Citizens Fund in Greece, which is part of the implementation of the EEA Financial Mechanism in Greece for the period 2014-2021. The purpose of the call is to facilitate the promotion, protection, and respect of gender equality, and to strengthen the prevention of and response to gender-based violence by funding initiatives of civil society organisations that are considered capable to effectively contribute in raising awareness and tackling gender-based discrimination, and promoting gender mainstreaming, preventing and responding to gender-based violence, and supporting and empowering the victims and survivors of gender-based violence so that they can successfully defend, claim, exercise, and enjoy their human rights.
In accordance with the purposes of the call, the project aims to: Raise public awareness on gender-based violence in adolescence and young adulthood in Greece; Combat the stigma associated with reporting incidents of gender-based violence either by the victims themselves or by witnesses to incidents, and to encourage an attitudinal shift from being passive observers to active bystanders; Educate and empower people in key positions such as teachers, social workers, youth workers and other special groups of the population who constitute the immediate social environment of potential perpetrators to act as active preventers, through early intervention and psychological support to youth at risk of becoming gender-based violence offenders; and leveraging sense of community responsibility and empowering individuals that constitute the immediate social environment of victims and perpetrators like classmates, students, young people aged 15-26 to act as active bystanders, as a means to discourage, prevent, and interrupt incidents of gender-based violence in a safe and effective manner. |
