The project “Bridging the Gap – Solidarity and support for women” is implemented under the ΟP “Human Resources Development 2007-2013”, by the Development Partnership DIEXODOS, with Diotima Centre as coordinating partner.
The intervention concerns the multiple and holistic support for social (re)integration and employment of 70 beneficiary women who have suffered violence and abuse. The aim of the intervention is to fill the gap in the required – for the support of abused women – care & support continuum and to cover it through networking and cooperation of all stakeholders at local level.
Objective
The aim of the intervention is to empower and provide multiple support (counselling, training, networking with employers, promotion to employment and self-employment, etc.) to women who are hosted or have been hosted in the recent past in hostels, in order to integrate themselves into the labour market in fields and industries where (low) specialisation and cooperation with employers and/or networks of entrepreneurs is required.
Actions
The implemented actions include: Study of the local labour market (region of Attica), networking – transnationality/exchange of good practices, information – counselling – support, training – education, information – awareness raising through the production of an information sheet.
