The goal of the project is to carry out direct nonviolent actions, teach as many people as possible how to do this, and unite the cause of the Nonviolent Movement with feminism, thanks to the
participation of the French organization EUROMED. Specifically, we will focus on urging the European Union, first and foremost, to establish a common definition for the term “femicide” and
then to create an entity dedicated to monitoring and possibly preventing femicides in Europe.
The project is based on three main objectives:
1. Implement an innovative learning program designed with inclusive, nonviolent content, accessible even to individuals with hearing disabilities. The aim is to provide young people with the knowledge and skills to initiate direct action initiatives focused on raising awareness about femicides.
2. Design and launch a youth-led innovative campaign.
3. Raise awareness within the community and pressure the European Union to adopt the United Nations’ criteria for recognizing femicides.
The project will carry out the following activities:
1. Transnational co-development of an innovative and inclusive youth training program to engage young people, including those who are deaf or have hearing disabilities, in a femicide awareness campaign.
2. Co-designing the InclusiVoice campaign.
3. Organizing inclusive and accessible training sessions for young people.
4. Implementing three national campaigns in partner countries (Italy, France, Latvia).
5. Organizing awareness events and advocacy initiatives to promote the recognition of femicide data.
Expected results:
1. An innovative, accessible, and inclusive youth training program, co-designed, focusing on the implementation of direct action initiatives to raise awareness about femicides, will be implemented.
2. A co-designed communication campaign, InclusiVoice, will be created and launched.
3. Participants will be trained in planning, executing, and evaluating nonviolent direct action initiatives.
4. Three initiatives from the InclusiVoice campaign will be launched in Italy, France, and Latvia.
5. A comprehensive communication and dissemination strategy will be designed.
6. Three youth-led petitions focused on gathering data on femicides will be collected.
European Union Values to Follow and Our Commitment The implementation of the Erasmus+program, along with its beneficiaries and activities, must adhere to the fundamental values of the
EU, such as respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law, and the protection of human rights. This includes safeguarding the rights of minorities and ensuring full
respect for the values and rights outlined in the EU Treaties and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. In particular, Article 2 of the TEU and Article 21 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights.
Article 2 of the TEU: The Union is founded on the values of respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law, and respect for human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities. These values are common to the Member States in a society where pluralism, non-discrimination, tolerance, justice, solidarity, and equality between women and men prevail.
Article 21 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights:
1. Any discrimination based on any reason, such as sex, race, color, ethnic or social origin, genetic features, language, religion or belief, political or any other opinion, belonging to a national minority, property, birth, disability, age, or sexual orientation is prohibited.
2. Within the scope of the Treaties and without prejudice to their specific provisions, any discrimination based on nationality is prohibited.
