Ongoing projects

“Baltic Harmony: Building a Gender-Sensitive Violence-Free Educational Environment”

Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values Programme (CERV)

The project aims to create evidence-based, gender-sensitive, violence-free educational environments, addressing the systemic prevalence of gender-based violence (GBV) and gender stereotypes underlying such prevalence within educational communities in the Baltic states. The joint effort of Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian academic, non-governmental and governmental organizations in the initiative shines light on the current situation of GBV in educational communities, empowers educators with tools for systemic changes in the prevention of GBV and advocates for systemic improvements in GBV prevention on legislative levels, addressing systemic issues from the root cause of the problem.

Through research, training, advocacy, and communication activities, this project will target audiences of educators, policymakers, parents, children (indirectly), and the wider public. The research activities include national and international reports exploring obstacles, knowledge gaps, available and missing educational resources for dealing with gender stereotypes and GBV interventions. The training activities include training material preparation and implementation. Advocacy activities include policy analysis and advocating for improvement in GBV prevention. Communication and dissemination activities include targeted communication actions toward educators and the wider public.
