Anti-violence centres: do you know what kind of help you can get from them?

Let's talk a bit about some services offered by many anti-violence centres.

One of the pillars to accelerate the reduction of the gender gap is to provide a support network for our community.

In many situations, an Ambassador may be enough to help you integrate into your new city. Still, each path has its uniqueness, and someone may need extra help, and in those cases, the one can rely on the network of European anti-violence centres (WAVE).

We are moving to bring all these realities into our map in the best possible way, but, as always, we started from what we know best, from our home, Italy.

Within the virtual tour of Italy, you will find the data relating to the anti-violence centres of the D.I.Re network (women in the network against violence).

The D.i.Re association brings together more than 82 women's organizations in a single project that addresses the issue of male violence against women from the perspective of gender difference.

The Anti-Violence Centers are places where women who have suffered violence are welcomed. Thanks to telephone reception, personal interviews, hospitality in shelters and the numerous other services offered, women are assisted in their path to exit from violence.

All the telephone numbers of the D.i.Re anti-violence centres are available at this link, city by city, in alphabetical order.
