The rise in the phenomena of abuse of women in the last two years in our country has made it even more urgent to take actions to prevent gender-based violence and to strengthen and reinforce social and labour (re)integration of vulnerable groups of women who suffer violence in their family environment. In this context, local government must contribute both to raising awareness and thus to prevention, and to and in providing counselling, with a view to the professional rehabilitation of women who need to be relieved of the burden of violence from a violent relationship. The Municipality of Piraeus in response to this social imperative decided to develop the property on Eleftherios Venizelos Street and Kolokotronis, a neoclassical building of 1890, by converting it into a place for the elaboration of national and community programmes for prevention and eradication of gender violence. The target is this space: - to house professionals working in the field (psychologists, social workers, lawyers, etc.) and providing services support and counselling services for women - to provide a beautiful and welcoming space where women victims can go for advice and support domestic violence - contribute to raising awareness among citizens and young people through events (workshops, exhibitions, book presentations, etc.)
