MARIPOSA – Online tools to support women’s empowerment

Monday 17 April 2023

Home » News » MARIPOSA – Online tools to support women’s empowerment

Often, the complex web of toxic relationships and underlying power dynamics that characterize domestic and sexual violence are difficult to identify.

However, it is essential to recognize them in order to take the first step in breaking free from the cycle of violence. Only through this awareness can one escape its grip and build a new future filled with hope and plans.

The MARIPOSA project consortium is scaling up its efforts toward the support and empowerment of women affected by gender-based violence through the development of various online tools, some of which are already accessible in the Online tools section of this website.

In March 2023, we have launched the piloting phase of the two tools ME and My Resources and EmpowerME, which will involve women affected by gender-based violence in each partner country and will aim at supporting them in processing their feelings and emotions, reflecting on their resources, defining future objectives and developing concrete action plans. Women themselves will test the tools and provide their feedback and suggestions on how to enhance the experience.

More details on the piloting and results coming soon!

On March 22th and 23rd, during the third Transnational Project Meeting in Bucharest, we had the opportunity to share our thoughts and feelings on project progress and next steps. In addition, we have brainstormed on and discussed the content of the Guide for Networking and Campaigning, an upcoming guide for anyone who wants to network and campaign against gender-based violence, and we have finalized the Guide for Victim Empowerment by Peer to Peer Support, which will be available online on the project website in May 2023.

About the project

Mariposa is co-funded by the Erasmus + Programme, Key Action 2 – Cooperation partnerships in Adult education.

SCIREARLY: key insights for enhancing Early Childhood Education

Apr 11, 2025 | ,

Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) is a fundamental pillar for children’s development and the creation of more equitable and inclusive societies. Scientific studies demonstrate that fair and high-quality access to early childhood services has a long-term positive impact on children’s well-being, cognitive skills, and socio-emotional development, contributing to reducing educational inequalities.
