Strengthening Civil Society Organisations and networks to protect gender-based violence survivors, in all their diversity.
The Connecting Spheres action aims to promote a more equal society in Italy and Europe, where LGBTQIA+ people can live free from violence in all spheres of life.
Oxfam Italia, Oxfam Italia Intercultura and Fondazione Giacomo Brodolini as partners of the Connecting Spheres action bring together their expertise and long-standing experience to contribute to the elimination of gender-based violence, eradicate the behaviours and social norms that persist in the discrimination and abuse of girls, women and LGBTQIA+ people, and work together to develop a culture of respect.
The Connecting Spheres action supports grass-rooted Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in Italy and at least in 3 other European countries, engaged in preventing and responding to gender identity-based violence and discrimination suffered by LGBTQIA+ people. The action envisages financial and technical support for at least 30 small and medium organisations, for a total of 1 million euro, through a call for proposals to be launched in September 2024 and opened for one year.
To report eventual abuses, as fraud, corruption and safeguarding cases related to the project, Oxfam Italy put at disposal its own channels at https://www.oxfamitalia.org/segnalazioni/. Clear guidelines and informative sessions will be provided to report possible cases.
