Completed Projects
The project’s main aim was to contribute to the prevention and combating of gender-based violence among adolescents by providing them with a safe space to reveal their attitudes towards violence, to reassess their tolerance towards it, and empower them to become actively involved in developing an environment free from violence for themselves as well as for their peers. The project was implemented using a gender equality and rights based approach. Project Objectives

 DAPHNE III Project: GEAR against IPV
 The European Anti-Violence coordinated the DAPHNE III Project entitled: "Gender Equality Awareness Raising against Intimate Partner Violence" [JLS/2008/DAP3/AG/1258]. The "GEAR against IPV" project's duration was December 2009-2011. It was funded by the European Commission (80%) and partner organizations (20%). Partner organizations were:
Associate partner of the project was CESI - the Center for Education, Counselling and Research and External Evaluator of the project was Professor Carol Hagemann - White.
The Gender Equality Awareness Raising against IPV project intends to contribute to primary prevention of Intimate Partner Violence through a school-based intervention aiming to raise awareness and deconstruct gender stereotypes held by both high school students and teachers.
As teachers, like the rest of society have their own perceptions of gender roles, they were also trained on issues of gender stereotyping and IPV and provided with appropriate skills to enable them to operate as multipliers via raising students' awareness.

DAPHNE III Project: Raising a Child through Prison Bars
 European Anti-Violence Network participated as partner in the DAPHNE III Project entitled "Raising a Child through Prison Bars" [JLS/2008/DAP3/AG/1260], that was implemented in a 26-month period, from December 2009 through February 2012, in Bulgaria, Greece and Romania with co-funding from the Daphne III Programme (2007-2013) of the European Commission - DG Justice, Freedom & Security (80%) and the partner organizations (20%). Project Coordinator was the Ιnstitute of Child Health, Department of Mental Health and Social Welfare, Centre for the Study and Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect.
Theaims of this project were: i) to support female prisoners, who are also mothers (IM -imprisoned mothers), to accomplish their parental role in an as effective as possible way and to recognize their own experiences of abuse [either Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) or Child Abuse and Neglect (CAN)] in order to start handling them, and ii) to prevent and combat CAN as well as to provide support to children of imprisoned parents in order to both disrupt the cycle of violence and enhance children’s resilience. These aims were accomplished through responding to the needs of three target groups: 1) imprisoned mothers (IM), 2) children of imprisoned parents (CHIP) and 3) personnel of the women’s prisons.
More specifically the interventions were designed in order:
European Anti-Violence Network was mostly responsible for carrying out Support Groups for Children of Imprisoned Parents aiming to empower children to explore difficulties that they may encounter in their daily life, to “discuss” sensitive issues like imprisonment through theater games and, possibly, to discover methods on how to deal with any conflicts (both internal and external) that they may encounter in their everyday lives. The rationale for opting drama techniques was that they offer a safe environment for children to explore through roles any issue –no matter how sensitive or painful is- without exposing their personal experiences.
