ISTITUTO DI ISTRUZIONE SUPERIORE LICEO MEDI BARCELLONA P.G. (MESSINA) ITALY
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
The project aims at making the students aware of one of the biggest issues in Europe: Violence Against Women (VAW).
It is a problem of pandemic proportions. All over the world, women are victims of different kinds of violence: rape, sexual assault, murder, stalking, genital mutilation, domestic violence, each form of abuse related to the social and cultural context in which it is produced.
Gender-based violence is a brutal form of discrimination and a violation of the victim’s fundamental rights. It is both a cause and a consequence of inequalities between women and men. It unfortunately happens in every society and all EU countries, regardless of social background, whether at home, at work, at school, in the streets and online as well.
We need young people will learn to defend and respect their own and others' human rights and learn how to acquire gender balance because remaining silent is not an option, it would be acceptation or resignation of daily crimes.

RESULTS:
The majority of the students had already heard about "gender based violence" and were aware that women victimes of violence need some help. But they didn't know almost anything about the national or international laws that should protect women rights in case of violence or to prevent it nor the existence of anti-violence centres in their towns/cities.
