The bases of the project is strongly build in as an interlink between, A-Attitudes, S-Skills and K-Knowledge, for a full package on empowerment and awareness raising towards the human rights issues and women role in now days societies.
The possibilities for involvement are there, the resources as well, the possibilities do exist but still the gender gap is existent and in many cases there is still a big need to put women in a higher perspective, to engage them more in leadership and to add value to their participation in the development of communities especially when considering the rural areas. The main aim of the courses is to switch off the stereotypes about gender discrimination, and turn on opportunities, for improved skills, knowledge and capacities.
