23.06.2008
The Mediterranean Institute of Gender Studies [MIGS] is pleased to make available a publication with the Final Results of the Euro-Mediterranean project “Intercultural Dialogue on Violence against Women”. The publication is a result of the project “Intercultural Dialogue on Violence against Women” funded by the Anna Lindh Foundation for the Dialogue between Cultures. It includes a synthesis of the state-of-the-art reports on Violence against Women from all five partner countries, information from the workshop and training sessions conducted in Cyprus, the short-listed photographs from the project’s widely publicised photo competition and photo exhibition.
Partners to the project were the ISIS Center for Women and Development (Morocco), ANTIGONE - Information Centre on Racism, Ecology, Peace and Non Violence (Greece), AAW - Alliance for Arab Women (Egypt) and HEURA (Spain). The overall objective of the project was to enhance the active participation of women in intercultural dialogue about violence against women and the diffusion of information about overcoming discrimination and violence against women in the Euro-Med region. Specifically, the project brought together five organizations from the Euro-Med region and 25 women from diverse backgrounds in five countries in order to discuss and identify areas of common concern, exchange experiences, and highlight best practices in relation to violence against women.
Furthermore, the project aimed to encourage the exploration of ways and means for further cooperation among the participants in the area of eliminating violence against women, as well as a further exploration of ways of sharing and disseminating the results of the project activities to relevant stakeholders in the partner countries and in the Euro-Mediterranean region.
