GOALSCORE

The project

This project aims to combine two priorities: fighting violence against women and more in general domestic violence; preserving young adults, since they may also be targets of violence. The approach is, therefore, that of active prevention, where individuals are not passive recipients but become agents of transformation. It is also in line with the aim of the European Commission to promote gender equality in sport. This project goes a step further, by not only promoting gender equality in sport but also using sport to reduce violence and promote gender equality and respect in the wider society.

The objectives

• Provide coaches of female football teams with awareness and skills to deal with gender violence
• Favour societal attitudinal and behavioural societal change with football
• Promote football institutional support against gender violence
• Provide females from football teams with awareness of gender violence and how to deal with and refer to it
