About the event

The BRIDGE Project Team invites you to the second roundtable of BRIDGE (Building Responsible Institutional Dialogue for Governance and Empowerment), focusing on gender-based violence and the contemporary challenges related to its prevention, protection, and institutional response.

As gender-based violence continues to constitute a major social problem with profound personal, social, and institutional implications, the discussion seeks to foster dialogue and collaboration among civil society organizations, institutional actors, and the academic community. At a time when gender-based violence remains highly prominent in public discourse and continues to raise pressing social and political concerns, the need for effective policies of prevention, protection, and support, as well as stronger cooperation between institutions and civil society organizations, is more important than ever.

The BRIDGE project aims to strengthen the meaningful participation of Civil Society Organizations in public policy-making processes. Through a dynamic digital platform of Open Educational Resources (OER), six thematic roundtables focusing on migration and refugee issues, gender-based violence, sexual identity and equality, child protection, homelessness, and public space and democracy, as well as a series of podcasts, the project creates spaces for exchange and engagement among civil society, public institutions, and the academic community. The project’s outcomes will include concrete policy recommendations and a Best Practices Handbook aimed at strengthening collaboration and democratic participation.
