A workshop for women, single mothers or those for whom separation may be an option to consider, and who suffer or have suffered violence in its different forms (isolation, being deprived of resources and social ties, including those with loved ones and family, belittlement, destabilisation, reversal of blame — “it’s probably my fault” —, the creation of a climate of fear, etc.).
In other words, violence is not only physical: it also includes verbal and psychological violence, blackmail, psychological pressure, monitoring your phone and your activities, financial surveillance of your purchases and spending…
It may come from your partner or ex-partner, but also from other members of your family (brothers, sisters, parents, etc.).
These everyday situations become hard to manage, drain a lot of energy and are exhausting.
In practical terms, it is a group of 4 to 6 women per session, free of charge and confidential, offering the chance to talk about violence in a safe, welcoming and respectful setting.
Conversation alternates with active meditations, body exercises and voluntary sharing between participants, allowing them to learn from the experience of other women and mothers, share practical information that helps in daily life, find avenues for action and shed light on the sources or origin of the violence they have experienced.
