FREEDOM AND DIGNITY: A WOMAN’S RIGHT
The seminar "Freedom and dignity: a woman's right" aims to stress on the importance of prevention, in particular primary and secondary prevention. Speaking of prevention, we talk about saving victims, preventing young people from adopting violent patterns of behaviours, and the ability to implement more efficient policies.
