Sobre

A violência doméstica contra as mulheres não só tem impacto no seu bem-estar psicológico, emocional e físico, como também inibe a sua participação ativa na vida cívica, social e económica. Ao pensar nas consequências do abuso doméstico, é importante considerar o impacto (mental, emocional, físico, social e financeiro) sobre o sobrevivente e a sua família e crianças. Assim como os custos sociais mais amplos, incluindo os custos de saúde e outras respostas dos serviços. A violência doméstica também tem impactos económicos profundos nos países europeus; com um custo estimado de 259 mil milhões de euros por ano em toda a UE; sendo que a violência contra as mulheres representa 226 mil milhões desse montante (EIGE, 2014).

A violência doméstica devasta famílias e comunidades em toda a Europa. As famílias destinam-se a ser o alicerce da nossa sociedade. São um ambiente seguro para as crianças crescerem e se desenvolverem, rodeadas de cuidados e amor. Quando a base da sociedade é fraturada, a sociedade desmorona-se. É por esta razão que o projeto EMPOWER visa apoiar estas famílias, especialmente as famílias em risco de violência, para construir a sua resiliência e prevenir a violência doméstica; através da criação de materiais de educação exclusivos e adequados a várias idades que podem ser aplicados num ambiente de aprendizagem familiar, para capacitar todos os membros da família a abordar a violência doméstica.

Metas

O projeto EMPOWER aborda a violência doméstica, e visa apoiar as famílias a desenvolverem a sua resiliência para prevenir casos de violência doméstica. O EMPOWER é inovador, uma vez que adotará uma abordagem familiar para lidar com esta questão, envolvendo os pais como educadores e fornecendo um conjunto de ferramentas de materiais de aprendizagem para apoiar todos as faixas etárias - desde crianças pequenas a adultos seniores na família - para construir relações familiares fortes, saudáveis e positivas.

Objetivos
O projeto EMPOWER irá:

Fornecer materiais e atividades de aprendizagem para apoiar as famílias a manter relações familiares saudáveis.
Desenvolver uma banda desenhada para crianças dos 8 aos 12 anos de idade com o objetivo de lhes dar apoio para falarem dos seus sentimentos e preocupações num contexto familiar.
Dar formação aos pais para serem educadores nas suas famílias e para poderem aprender como prevenir relações insalubres nas suas famílias.
Organizar uma formação do EMPOWER com 10 famílias locais em cada país, para garantir que as famílias locais experimentem o impacto positivo deste projeto.
Promover o autocuidado e o bem-estar entre todos os membros da família
Assegurar a existência de mecanismos e estruturas que facilitem a consulta a indivíduos e grupos relativamente à identificação das suas necessidades e a sua participação na conceção e prestação de serviços para satisfazer tais necessidades
Assegurar que todas as atividades e materiais de aprendizagem são inclusivos
Responder a consultas políticas e, sempre que possível, influenciar a evolução política
