The project

The END GBV in VET project focuses on piloting a full service operating office for students, trainers, schools administrative staff and parents to increase the capacity and awareness for disrupting gender-based violence in the VET sphere. This is achieved by improving the development of VET school students, their teachers/staff and interested parents in addressing issues relevant to GBV, to strengthen the existing structures of the institutions by offering an integrated approach through the operation of a full service in the campus that will provide information, training, support and consultations.

Gender-based violence and Education

Gender-based violence (GBV) is the most extreme expression of unequal gender relationsin society and one  of  the  most  widespread  violations  of  human  rights.  While  GBV  disproportionally  affects  women  and girls,  it  also  affects  men  and  boys. GBV is preventable and educational institutions can play a central role in ending  it. 

Students  in  Vocational  Institutes  (VET)  typically  fall  between  the  ages  of  18  and  30  and evidence  shows  that  young  people  in  this  age  category  lack  adequate  information  on  the  spectrum  of violence based on gender and they are unaware on the existing means to report and address the abuse behavior.  

All project partner countries (Belgium, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxemburg, Spain, Slovakia, Romania and Austria) are well advanced in the fight against GBV in general but also in the areas of education with information and training mostly for teachers and students and in a lower degree for parents. There are in place either national  plans  or  projects  to promote  the  respect  of  gender  equality,  prevention  of  GBV  and  all  forms  of discrimination. Even though initiative exist in the education system and promoted by public institutions, little have  been  done  for  the  Vocational  Training  providers.  The  topic  of  violence  against  women  and  GBV should be included in the training of teaching staff and students.  At  present, corresponding  training  is  not  compulsory,  which  means  that participation  in  workshops  and  trainings  on violence due to gender depends on the individual interest and commitment of the training provider.

Gender-based violence in EU

The Commission Communication on a Union of Equality: Gender Equality Strategy 2020-2025 highlights the importance of vocational education and training for women and men to ensure a gender balance and to tackle gender stereotypes. The Council Recommendation on VET for sustainable competitiveness, social fairness  and  resilience  targeted  measures  promote  gender  balance  in  traditionally  “male”  or  “female” professions and address gender related and other types of stereotypes together (COM(2020) 275 final).

Project Objectives

END GBV in VET aims at the creation of a more supportive VET school environment for learners in vocational education and training on issues relating to gender-based violence. The impact includes:

1st Dimension

Improved knowledge, policy, and practice of VET students and teachers/staff, as well as interested parents for addressing GBV.

2nd Dimension

Increased operational capacity of VET institutions through the operation of safe spaces for VET students to receive support, to critically reflect on and speak openly about GBV.

3rd Dimension

Outreach to VET students through the online support service to support addressing GBV, outreach to VET related stakeholders to increase their knowledge and raise awareness.

Within this whole school approach, collaboration between VET schools and society plays a central role. Moreover, collaboration with NGOs and Public Bodies experienced in the identification and tackling of GBV issues is part of the projects’ objectives. Enhanced society – VET school collaboration significantly improves outreach to vulnerable adolescents at risk of dropping out, as well as to their parents, thus contributing to a safe and supportive VET school environment.
