Women’s Solidarity Workshop
PSYCHOLOGICAL AND LEGAL SUPPORT FOR WOMEN
IN THE FIGHT AGAINST VIOLENCE
July 01, 2021, 12:00 – 14:30, Zoom platform
We have witnessed a large number of women and girls who have chosen to speak out publicly about the violence they have survived. Such experiences carry severe physical and psychological consequences. How to adequately protect women survivors of violence? What kind of psychological and legal support do they need and where can they get it?
Join us for an online workshop where longtime experts in these fields will answer questions, share their experiences and give tips on how to protect women and address violence.
