The main aim of the project was to increase health literacy and empower women involved with Criminal Justice System through gender-specific health education addressing the prevention of chronic and transmissible diseases in detention and after release using innovative methods starting from the need for gender-specific health education in the context of justice, a goal that we achieved by reaching the proposed objectives: O1 Identifying the health literacy needs of women in conflict with the law for the partner countries - "Findings from the survey on health literacy, STD knowledge and preventive behavior with women with Criminal Legal System Involvement (CLSI) from Romania, Greece, and Türkiye"O2 Development of educational materials according to identified needs, innovation and upscaling of health education program to use by each partner country- Empowerment through knowledge- program and methodology pdf and on App together 12 videos O3 Support for specialists working with women offenders involved in health literacy activities from each partner - one session of specific training, masterclass, new program O4 Logistical endowment for quality assurance and upgrading of women's health literacy program.- 5 tablets for each partner
Starting from the need for Inclusion and Diversity and Gender Equality, and from the fact that in real practice for most partners there are no gender-specific programs that address women's health literacy. Existing materials does not contain sufficient information and are use a methodology that does not keep up digitalization of education, thus making participation unattractive and even ineffective, we wanted to create a framework for health education literacy based on identifying the real needs of women in conflict with the law and a program that keep up with modern education. Lack of analysis of the needs in this matter for target group regarding health literacy, although there is a validated instrument for all partners country It was yet another solid reason to start from a real analysis of needs, not just from surveying them through office research. The absence of a similar gender-specific program in all four partner countries validated the need to lay the foundations for a new approach to health education for women in conflict with the law, creating the context of collaboration between the medical staff and educators to offer higher quality programs adapted to the current context and helping both target group and specialists.
