Project Title: Rede Pares

Fund/reference: EEAGrants, IGC

Coordination and Principal Researcher: José Ornelas and Maria João Vargas-Moniz

A descriptive paragraph of the project:

The Rede Pares aims to empower and facilitate the civic participation of women through the creation of Peer Networks – an innovative tool for the intervention and prevention of Gender-Based Violence.

Peer groups bring together women survivors of violence who want to make their views more visible on how to design and implement best practices, policies and services – supporting them to become self-representatives and to be able, through their experiences, to transform the political and social system and eradicate violence against women.

Survivors’ network: Survivors participated in training and awareness-raising actions among young people and professionals from various institutions, helping to change beliefs and values associated with violence.

Youth network: Primary prevention programs for violence against women and domestic violence should act as early as possible and in two aspects: at the level of the empowerment of girls and women and, on the other hand, in the deconstruction of stereotypes of toxic masculinities among boys and men.
