SUMMARY:Orange for Awareness: Empowering Law Students Against Gender-Based Violence
DESCRIPTION:This seminar is organized within the framework of the ChallengeEU project\, as part of the ODEI Working Group (WP5)\, which aims\, among other objectives\, to strengthen students’ capacities in addressing gender-based violence. “Orange for Awareness” is an activity that brings together professionals from the legal system\, mental health\, civil society\, and activism to create a shared space for education\, reflection\, and awareness on one of the most serious human rights challenges. \nAligned with the 2025 theme of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence  “UNiTE to End Digital Violence Against All Women and Girls”\, the seminar emphasizes the growing importance of combating violence in both physical and digital spaces.
