The projects develops a community-based prevention and support intervention addressing gender-based cyber violence. It combines non-formal education, peer learning and trauma-informed participatory methods. Workshops for young women and professionals will strengthen the recognition of digital risks, safe responses and access to support.
Target groups
Young women aged 18–30 facing intersecting forms of exclusion and needing knowledge and practical tools for digital safety. Educators and professionals working with young people, and civil society organisations able to use the methodology and guide, are also targeted. Indirect beneficiaries include participants’ communities and support networks.
