Project description:
The Voice Against Violence project aims to implement an awareness campaign including advocacy activities to prevent and combat undesirable stereotypes and causes of gender-based violence.
One in three women has personal experience of physical or sexual violence, and one in five has been the victim of dangerous stalking. According to research, approximately 12,000 rapes are committed in the Czech Republic every year. However, only about 600 rapes are reported to the police each year. This means that although there are an average of 34 rapes a day in our country, only one or two of them are reported to the police.
The project will implement a Voice Against Violence awareness and advocacy campaign to raise public and political awareness of violence against women and the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence (Istanbul Convention).
The project will achieve its goals through a nationwide social media campaign (indirect reach of 500,000 people), public debates and workshops in the regions (850 people), cooperation with supporters (150), and advocacy work (addressing 281 politicians/people).
