Study develops educators’ preparedness to confront gender-based violence
A multidisciplinary research project titled Education and Raising Awareness in Schools to Prevent and Encounter Gender-Based Violence (ERASE GBV) is carried out with partners from three European countries: Finland, Spain and Croatia. The project investigates institutional and affective practices for responding to gender-based violence in schools.
The project participants develop a web-based training programme to increase awareness of and improve the ability of educators to prevent and address gender-based violence in schools. In addition, teachers, student teachers and other professionals working in schools are trained to recognise and support children and young people who are exposed to gender-based violence, abuse or harassment, refer them to further services and help them report abuse and violence to the public authorities.
The ERASE GBV project also contributes to the following SDGs: 4.
