Goals:   Empowering women through education and skills is the main objective of this project that aims to support those women who suffer from any form of violence. Through awareness raising workshops, information booklets and practical workshops where women can learn how to raise their income and become independent, we seek to improve their quality of living and increase equity between men and women. The main difference between this project and many others on this theme, is that we don't want to exclude men from this process. We want men and women to work together towards a life free from violence, exercising citizenship. Objectives- Inform men and women about how violence contributes to poverty - Let women know about their rights - Create workshops for awareness raising - Create an environment where women can learn from each other, through member stories, exchange of ideas on how to raise income at home, etc. ActivitiesThe project will be promoting training workshops on the following areas: -Sewing -Family Agriculture -Craftswork -Recycling -Cooking In all of these courses, step-by-step manuals will be provided in order to guarantee the project's long-term sustainability. Along with these activities there will also be awareness raising workshops on VAW, Human Rights, Citizen Rights, HIV/AIDS and Family Planning.
