The FENI project aims to prevent and respond to domestic and sexual violence against Roma women in four communities in Attica. It addresses barriers that Roma women face in obtaining information, building trust in services and accessing appropriate support. The project seeks to empower women, support the early identification of cases of violence and strengthen links between communities and protection services.
