The LILA transnational conference “Addressing Gender-Based Violence From Diverse Perspectives and Transformative Practices”, held in February 2024 in Barcelona, was a particular success.
Among the many interesting presentations, Mirto Prodromidou, the services coordinator of the Diotima Centre in Thessaloniki, presented intersectional feminist tools for providing holistic support to survivors and their children.
At the same time, the conference highlighted tools and methodologies developed in the framework of the project, as well as its results and the great success of the #ActNow awareness campaign.

Campaign
The #ActNow campaign, coordinated by the Diotima Centre, was simultaneously broadcasted in Spain, Italy, Greece and Belgium in November 2023, occasioned by the International Day for the Elimination of Gender-Based Violence.
The campaign garnered over 2.8 million views on social media, highlighting silent forms of gender-based violence, underlining the need to take a stand when witnessing incidents of abuse.
