Workshops, debates, research, analysis, policy recommendations Education plays a vital role in challenging the underlying stereotyping and discrimination, which fuels violence against women. Under international law, states must ensure the protection of human rights of all people, without discrimination. But although progress has been made to address gender inequality, there is still a long way to go to bring about the eradication of violence against women across the world. Working with the local governments and civil society organizations in the region, CEMD would like to contribute to an ongoing public debate about gender equality that will produce sound policy recommendation. Having a role in the follow up on the implementation of those policy recommendations is also on our agenda.
Since 2012 WoT has created and monitored over 980 mentoring partnerships for unemployed women, women who want to change their professional path, establish themselves in male-dominated professions, build their own businesses etc. It has also trained over 1500 unemployed, employed and self-employed women in skills camps offering childcare for the little ones of those who are mothers. It provides training, consulting and project management services to businesses and organizations wishing to prioritize the equal representation of women at work. Finally, it has developed a wide communication and content creation platform, in order to help promote positive and strong female role models and raise awareness around the obstacles that women face in their equal participation in public life.
Cinema can play a central role in creating awareness and challenging stereotypes, putting upfront violence against women and girls, women rights, and gender equality at all levels of society. Over sixteen years of commitment and operation, Shashat has created a meaningful presence in marginalized areas with its films s a centerpiece throughout villages, towns, cities, refugee camps, Bedouin communities and universities in the West Bank, Jerusalem area, and the Gaza Strip. It generated acceptance and sometimes debates on gender thematic. Shashat’s methodology is based on the belief that to become credible in changing the values and emotional fabric of society on women’s status and human rights, cultural products must be relevant to people’s lives and experiences.

The EOF’s work is based in two thematic issues: creating a Europe-wide data collection system to measure and raise awareness about the extent of femicide, and to provide background information for better intervention and prevention, conducting Europe-wide femicide reviews to identify gaps in response to violence against women. The EOF operates through the setting up and supporting of Europe-wide country research groups that act as focal points for the collection, joint analysis and dissemination of data.
