Our commitment
SvoltaDonna's commitment against gender-based violence is broad and diversified. The main goal of the Anti-Violence Center is to help women recognize violence and find the most
appropriate way out. A female network of professionals leads women on a path towards autonomy and self-determination.
In addition to offering psycho-socio-educational interventions and legal advise, SvoltaDonna hosts women experiencing violence in secret-address emergency shelters.
Furthermore, the Anti-Violence Center promotes awareness-raising activities and projects for schools, companies and for the general public.
