Overview of the project
The "Red Benches" Initiative is a significant project by our association dedicated to supporting and raising awareness for women victims of violence. Inspired by an international movement, we use red benches as powerful symbols in the fight against gender-based violence and as beacons of hope and solidarity within the community.
This initiative places vibrant red benches in public spaces such as parks, town squares, and community centers. Each bench features a plaque with information about local resources for women experiencing violence, including emergency contacts, shelters, counseling services, and hotlines. These benches are designed to be a stark reminder of the ongoing issue of violence against women while providing immediate and long-term support to those in need.
Through the "Red Benches" Initiative, we aim to provoke thought and discussion, break the silence surrounding violence, and honor the lives of victims. Community engagement is central to our mission, involving workshops, educational seminars, and collaborations with local artists to raise awareness. Join us in creating safer communities, empowering victims, and inspiring collective action against violence towards women.
