We have been involved in promoting the rights and wellbeing of Italian and migrant women who are survivors of violence since 2001, through interventions based on a gender perspective. We also work with single women and single mothers, who are generally more disadvantaged and live in worse conditions than the general population.
We undertake social programmes that promote women’s autonomy and emancipation by providing assistance, protection, psychological support, legal advice, guidance and training. All of these activities also intended to support social and work inclusion.
We also provide social protection and reintegration programmes for survivors of domestic violence who contact us through the 1522 free assistance line, support centres, social and health services and other public and private entities.
As part of efforts to counter the effects of violence on their self-esteem, the women we support are also present in any court proceedings against perpetrators. Our counselling also involves their children, who are either survivors or witnesses of domestic violence themselves.
