"All countries involved in this project, also the more advanced ones, experience gender-based violence and display a strong patriarchal mentality. Many of the young people our partner organizations work with, with a majority belonging to vulnerable groups, have suffered of different forms of domestic violence, be it as a direct victim or as a witness, who in turn becomes a victim, if 'only' through witnessing. Since the damage done is often not physical but psychological, witnessing such violence can cause as much damage. Following the needs of the partners identified by different means (Needs/ SWOT Analysis etc.) at the level of their organizations we have noticed the need for new practices, strategies and resources for youth workers, trainers, and educators to prevent violence against women and girls and women’s human rights violations. The purpose of the project was an international synergy between 6 European organizations with the same needs: educating towards gender equality, facilitating the social inclusion of young people from vulnerable groups. Having as target groups youth workers, trainers, artists, journalists involved in youth education belonging to partner organizations as well as young people belonging to vulnerable groups we proposed a project having the following objectives : 1. Professional development of each partner organization through European collaboration, through direct learning, acquiring new working practices, and effective strategies to develop a culture of gender equality by means of 5 Short-term joint staff training events 2.To raise awareness on gender based violence using various non-formal methods during Awareness Raising Campaigns launched by all partners 3.To develop a new learning e-tool – ""LOVE DOESN'T HURT TV”, a web TV channel as a true resource of international value, bringing together the best European practices and mechanisms to combat violence and social exclusion of young people. The objectives were achieved through: * 5 Short-term joint staff training events * Working sessions with the young people supported by each of our organizations ( knowledge transfer workshops and other events ) *Dissemination activity on line ( during pandemic) at European level - partners, associated partners, stakeholders and young people *Public Facebook group Love Doesn't Hurt - created during lock-down in order to continue knowledge transfer and to stand against domestic violence * All partners launched Awareness Rising Campaigns against GBV using all new working methods acquired during the 5 training. * ""LOVE DOES’N HURT TV”, the web TV channel as digital network between partner organizations was used to upload new resources against all forms of GBV for NGO staff, youth workers, trainers, artists, young people, citizens in general.
