SHELTER

Mutual learning programme on how to support victims of domestic violence at a local level

As a consortium partner, we participate in the EU co-funded two-year project called SHELTER. The aim of the project is to develop a comprehensive victim support protocol and service package for survivors of domestic violence in Józsefváros (Budapest).

  • Una Casa Per L’Uomo – Società Cooperativa Sociale (Italy)
  • Municipality of Josefstadt, Vienna (Austria)
Within the project, we participate in the following activities:
  • participation in study visits to victim support organisations in Montebelluna and Vienna
  • participation in roundtable discussions on violence against women and an English-language online workshop on economic abuse
  • our social workers took part in a training series focusing on victim support for vulnerable groups
  • participation in discussions on the development of policy materials
  • members of our community team attended the “Power for Change” group facilitator training organised by NANE
Our organisation carries out the following activities:
