Project nr. 2021-1-ES01-KA220-ADU-000033400
Violence shatters a woman’s identity and makes her lose sight of herself and of her unique resources.
Being able to spot the toxic relationships and power dynamics underlying the phenomenon of gender-based violence represents the first, necessary step to break the cycle of violence, rebuild self-esteem and create a personal life plan for the future.
The Mariposa project provides new tools that can help women affected by gender-based violence to identify the unhealthy dynamics in which they are involved and overcome them through the development of a personal life plan and orientation towards relevant professional support. At the same time, we intend to guide peers and supporters in encouraging the empowerment of women affected by gender-based violence and developing support networks and campaigns for the prevention and fight against gender-based violence.
Mariposa project is an Erasmus+ project Cooperation Partnerships and is financed by the European Union. It has a 2 years duration.
