Discover ways how to prevent and act against gender-based violence in our latest episode as we take a closer look at what it is and how we can fight it together. Gender-based violence is physical, sexual or psychological harm inflicted on the basis of gender. So what can we do about it? The CERV Daphne funded project DECIDES YA explores exactly that.

Meet Cristina Bosch, the program officer of the coordinating organisation interarts in Spain. She explains to us how interarts and their five partners across Europe educate about gender-based violence and empower young people to stand up against it through DECIDES YA. And how theater can help with that…She is then joined by Diana and Matej, students and participants of the initiative For Future under the DECIDES YA project in Romania. They tell us all about their experiences and how Asociatia Transcena, one of interarts’ partners, tackles gender-based violence through theater and digital storytelling as a profound educational tool for emotional connection and awareness. Matej and Diana share their transformative journeys and recognise education as the key to change. As they reflect on their experiences, their stories show the transformative power of education and empathy in combating this widespread problem. By standing together against gender-based violence, they remind us that while this global struggle will not be solved easily or quickly, every small step towards change is invaluable.
