The year 2019 indicated a major issue in the European countries by revealing the abuse and lack of respect for fundamental EU values. Those indeed promote women’s rights, among which gender equality and sexual and reproductive health rights, and also children’s rights. Statistics speak for themselves. Within the EU, 1 woman out of 3, aged over 15, has been the victim of sexual or physical assault, more than 1 or 2 out of 20 has been sexually harassed, and 1 out of 20 has been raped. The fight against discrimination and gender-based violence, as well as the struggle for gender equality are common European values. It is essential that the European NGOs, which are specialists in non-formal education, take the lead in sharing their good practices, in order to increase awareness and information about such values. The FLAVIE project - Fighting Loud Against Violence In Europe - follows that line. It brings together 5 partners (Tera - Maison de l’Europe de la Charente, Mobilizing Expertise AB, Faal Dernegi, ComeUnaMarea Onlus and Mujeres por Mujeres) who seek to share between themselves their awareness-raising and information material, their training tools, by means of exchanges in the short, medium and long term in order to reach 4 main goals: - Promoting common values of freedom, tolerance and empowerment, along with the respect for society rights. - Raising awareness in fundamental rights, in psycho-social knowledge, and providing prevention means for active citizenship - Increasing awareness among adult trainers and volunteers about the importance of knowing women’s rights and making them better-known - Sharing European good practices and prevention tools In order to support growing awareness, the five European partners will work directly with facilitators, animators, trainers and volunteers engaged in local institutions and local organizations. They will use a relevant methodology in intergenerational mentoring, train- the-trainer sessions, workshops on the Charter of Fundamental Rights and intercultural get-together. Women facing violence and discrimination need to feel effectively supported, in a respectful manner, in order to attain emancipation and empowerment. It is therefore logical to train actors who are in direct contact with our final beneficiaries. In addition to the local actions, three international training activities will be set up, reminding that intercultural focus will be inserted. Through this project, we would like to see violence against women significantly reduced, more protective steps taken, women being given a voice and the realities of their lives released. We also seek to reinforce trust in the relationship between users and professional social workers.
