Gender-based violence is one of the most widespread forms of human rights abuse and a violation of human dignity. It is a problem in all the member states of the European Union and Eastern Partnership Countries. It affects millions of women regardless of their social status, cultural or religious background, civil status, or sexual orientation. Violence against women is rooted in social inequalities between men and women and it took many forms, including psychological violence, harassment, physical and sexual violence, female genital mutilation (FGM), forced marriage, forced abortion, sterilization, and sexual harassment. Fundamental Rights (FRA) survey data show that one woman in three has experienced some physical and/or sexual violence since the age of 15 and one in 20 has been raped. According to a scientific study, there are approximately 3 500 domestic violence-related deaths in the EU every year. Also, an important case is a selective abortion in Eastern Partnership Countries like Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. According to UNFPA, 25 000 girls disappeared from 1990 to 2010 in Georgia. Despite many successes in empowering women, numerous issues still exist. Sustainable Development Goals include achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls. Young people have the ability to change the world and it can be done with the help of non-formal education. The specific objectives of the project were the following: - To raise awareness among youth workers about gender-based violence toward women - To raise the professional capacities of workers by giving them specific methods and tools so they would be able to carry out their projects about women's empowerment in their local communities - To increase knowledge of youth workers about gender equality and women's rights in different cultures - To make youth workers reflect upon their ideological and cultural background regarding women's rights - To explore the potential of youth work in preventing discriminative, violent, and radical behaviors among young people - To establish a network of like-minded organizations and individuals who were interested in further exchange on the topic of promoting gender equality - To develop a concrete plan for follow-up projects and local activities focusing on promoting gender equality All the objectives were linked with the objectives of the Erasmus+ Programme in the field of youth. By giving participants tools for enhancing social inclusion, the project strongly promoted social inclusion and anti-discrimination, preventing the growth of radical and violent behaviors. By exploring the potential of non-formal education in the gender equality context, the training course improved key skills of youth workers, which helped them raise the quality of projects they developed. As the project was addressed toward organizations from both Programme Countries and Eastern Partnership, it enhanced the international cooperation and high quality of their international projects. After that training course, youth workers were able to carry out their projects with the tools and information they were given during the training. In that case, they could spread information, raise awareness about equality and increase the participation of young people as well as specific target groups like women.
