Gender-based violence against women is a phenomenon with increasing indicators. According to WHO for 2021, 27% of women have experienced domestic violence. In most cases, the violence comes from someone close to them, either a partner or an immediate family member. Violence and the increasing number of cases of femicides have created an urgent need to support women and raise awareness among men about the phenomenon. Through non-formal learning activities related to gender-based violence, the cultivation of emotional intelligence and understanding of gender differences is promoted, while empowering women and actively involving men in the eradication of this phenomenon.
