Strong and courageous: training according to the WenDo method for female students and teachers of Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic
On January 22-23, in the «FREETIME» youth hub, female students and teachers of the «Zaporizka Polytechnic» NU received training according to the WenDo method.
WenDo is a comprehensive approach that aims to empower women and girls to confront and deter hidden and direct forms of gender-based violence in a variety of contexts/situations – at home, at work, on the street, in public space.

- expansion of knowledge about gender-based violence and its manifestations
