Social conditioning of boys and girls during formative years affects gender-related roles and behaviour, which can have an impact on patterns of violence and victimisation that carry on to their later lives. Therefore, promoting healthy gender roles among youngsters is vital in creating more equal relationships where consent is respected and in preventing gender-based violence. The CONSENT project aims to prevent gender-based violence among youngsters with a focus on sexualised violence.
The CONSENT team delivered programmes and tools for parents, teachers, and youngsters in Spain and Italy, which were disseminated all over Europe for replication. Moreover, CONSENT developed a campaign for youth to become changemakers and an adult readiness campaign to multiply the impact on gender equality and child safeguarding all over Europe.
