The meeting of the Working Group was held in the spirit of welcoming new members of the Working Group. The main theme of the meeting was understanding the causes of violence against women. We talked in more detail about the power and control that violent men use against their partners/wives. The discussion focused on feedback to understand the causes of violence. At the end of the meeting, the next date of the working group meeting was agreed and the members are looking forward to it.
The project „We stand with women. We protect and support them!“ benefits from a 486 622 € grant from Norway through the Norway Grants. The project has been co-financed from the State Budget of the Slovak Republic in the amount of 72 993 €.
The aim of the project is to increase availability of specialist counselling centres for women – survivors of intimate partner violence and their children in Kosice region by enhancing and increasing the quality of support services in the existing counselling centres in Košice, Michalovce and Spišská Nová Ves and establishing new counselling centres in Rožňava, Gelnica and Sobrance. At the same time, our aim is to make information about the counselling centres and help and support they provide more available to women in Košice region and to improve the response of institutions where women and children seek protection from violence.
The project is implemented by Fenestra in partnership with OZ HANA and OZ Pomoc rodine.
