On the website timetotalk.gr one can find the university’s research on emerging forms of violence on the internet, information on forms of violence and play with the game ” Change The Plot. Be a Gender Hero!”.
The “TIME TO TALK” project was implemented by the Active Citizens Fund, with the L.U.D. – H.O.H. as the implementing agency and the Bodossaki Foundation and Solidarity Now as grant managers. The project was funded by Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein as part of the European Economic Area (EEA) funding mechanism. It lasted 14 months from December 2021 to February 2023 and continues on a voluntary basis until today, succeeding in promoting equality, preventing and addressing the phenomenon of gender-based violence and its root causes through specialized counseling for the perpetrator and more effective support for victims.
