Project period: 2016-2018

This project focused on the prevention of violence in the name of honour and damaging practices through sensitisation and training measures.

“HRs in Practice” was coordinated by the FOLKSUNIVERSTETET Uppsala/Sweden and implemented with the support of organisations from Greece, Sweden, Portugal, Great Britain and Germany.

The project was focussed on the prevention of violence in the name of honour and damaging practices by undertaking sensitisation and training measures. To reach this goal, information about human rights, women’s rights and children’s rights was to be integrated into the curricula of language courses for new migrants in the partner countries. In addition, the partner organisation cooperated with migrant organisation, language schools and education institutions. The target groups of the project were not only girls and women, who needed to be made aware of their rights but also the entire family structure of the endangered group.
