Protection from violence

FIGHT AGAINST VIOLENCE AGAINST CHILDREN AND WOMEN

Violence against women is equally unacceptable. 

Despite the efforts of some governments to reduce gender-based violence, it remains one of the major problems of society in Vietnam, Cambodia or Nepal for example. Widely underestimated and accepted by society, violence against women takes many forms: physical, sexual, psychological and economic. Worse, many victims remain silent for fear of being blamed and judged, which minimizes the horror of the violence and protects those who perpetrate it.

From individual psycho-social follow-up to training to emancipate victims, from the "school for husbands" to training in family budget management, and including debates with the younger generation, the social workers of Planète Enfants & Développement and its partners have developed methods to identify victims, to do prevention, to lift taboos, to fight against stereotypes and to change mentalities

"Every time a woman defends herself, without knowing it, without claiming it, she defends herself for all women".
