CHANGE

Pathways to prevent and combat gender-based violence

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.

"The project was successful in bringing together all actors involved in addressing and preventing perpetrators’ violence, and this experience could be applied in other regional contexts, in more institutionalised contexts. This is important so that the project’s valuable work to promote social inclusion, raise awareness of stereotypes and encourage positive behaviours within schools’ communities can be further extended and strengthened." - European Commission evaluation feedback

Our work

Prevent and combat gender-based violence through awareness-raising and education activities in primary and secondary schools
Conduct a training course for frontline professionals who engage with male perpetrators of domestic violence and abuse to create coordinated responses among local services, increasing the safety of women victims of violence
Set up 4 Perpetrator Programmes in 4 Italian cities (Pordenone, Gorizia, Treviso and Conegliano) to support and treat male perpetrators of violence

Results

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.
