As usual, we started this Working Group meeting with the current situation in the institutions. We opened the discussion about the activities implemented, news, way of working and practice in relation to violence against women in Spišská Nová Ves.

The need of the members of the working group was education in the field of violence against women. With the addition of new members to the Working Group, we jointly decided to fulfil this need and started with the first part of the sensitisation training, which was implemented in an interactive way through activities. In the first activity, we talked to the members about what skills they have already acquired in the past to support women experiencing violence, what they already know about violence against women and what their views are on the topic. The second activity focused on the myths and facts that still persist in society on the topic of violence against women. The aim of this activity was to raise awareness about beliefs, ideas and values on this topic.

At the end, we evaluated the first part of the training and agreed on the next meeting, which will be in September.

The project is implemented by Fenestra in partnership with OZHANA and OZ Pomoc rodine.
