GBV-Watch Salons aims to empower beauty workers to become early detectors and contribute to the identification and the fight against domestic abuse and GBV. The project seeks to empower them through lifelong and continuous education to identify victims of domestic abuse and GBV, engage in supportive dialogue and assist victims to connect with the appropriate services. To achieve this objective, VET Beauty Educators and Beauty Schools will be targeted and equipped with a Training Programme that will enhance the competences of Beauty Workers (but also students) to contribute to the identification of GBV victims.
Within this context, the key components of the GBV-Watch Salons project are to:
- develop and implement a comprehensive GBV Awareness Training Programme
- create country-specific non-interventional GBV Handling Guides for Beauty Workers
- offer advocacy for policy changes to recognize and support the role of beauty workers in combating GBV.
The GBV-Watch Salons project comes to enhance existing screening methods and to integrate non-traditional practitioners into the prevention framework, addressing a critical gap in domestic violence.
