SERVICES
ΥΠΗΡΕΣΙΕΣ
Legal aid for low-income women (Greek citizens or migrants) survivors of gender-based violence, without access to information and legal support. Services include legal support for appeals to justice, with all expenses covered for matters related to gender-based violence (application for divorce, maintenance claims, pressing charges).
Legal aid for (men and women) refugee survivors of gender-based violence, inhabiting urban spaces or refugee camps. Services provided include legal support for the asylum process (memo drafting, escort and support during interviews, appeals), as well as support to seek justice in matters concerning gender-based violence. Additionally, we provide legal counselling on an individual basis.
Psychosocial support for survivors of gender-based violence, especially members of the refugee population inhabiting refugee camps or urban spaces, in Attica and Northern Greece. The services are provided by a team of professionals, specialised in managing cases of gender-based violence (psychologists, social workers, interpreters/cultural mediators), and include escorting and mediation to public/local services (police, social services, health and insurance organisations, shelters).
Career counselling services for employed and unemployed, Greek citizens and migrant women. These services aim at informing the beneficiaries about prevailing job market conditions, providing them with individualised counselling, increasing their capabilities and preparing them to enter the job market or create their own, self-owned or cooperative business.
