Violence against women is a complex and multi-dimensional phenomenon which requires action and collaboration among specialised services, CSOs, and institutions belonging to social and health systems, as well as the education one, to be tackled and prevented. CHANGE (pathways to prevent and combat Gender-Based Violence) intervenes to support multi-agency, coordinated and effective response to fight and deter GBV and DV in Friuli Venezia Giulia and Veneto regions in Italy.
CHANGE actions will enhance and strengthen the local social and health services networks and promote a public-private welfare system that closely aligns with the resources and needs of the communities. Project activities will involve a targeted prevention approach through the setting up of Service Desks offering perpetrators (and potential perpetrators) support and treatment programmes to prevent violence and recidivism.
