Awareness raising campaign “You are not the only one. You are not alone!” "Δεν είσαι μόνη! Δεν είσαι η μόνη!"
It provides for the development of 5 types of material (printed, electronic, audio-visual and online material or outputs as well as some promotional items) that are anticipated to be disseminated via 5 different channels (means), with the aim to increase the general population’s awareness and knowledge as well as to enhance professionals’ capacity to appropriately approach women/girls suffering from VAW. The Television and radio spots are broadcasted in the form of social messages: on the basis of this regulation, TV and radio stations are instructed (but not mandated) to broadcast messages that have been characterised by the Greek National Council for Radio and Television as social messages for free. Also Information days and a Film Festival on VAW took place in 2011, where 1200-1300 people attended.
The material and activities that had implemented until June 2012 are presented in the sheets 14, 15 and 22.
