The North-South Centre of the Council of Europe is launching a call for the attribution of grants aiming at strengthening capacities of eight civil society organisations in the Southern Mediterranean to ensure a greater access to protection structures and services for victims/survivors of violence against women and girls.

In the framework of the joint programme between the European Union and the Council of Europe, "Regional Support to Reinforce Human rights, Rule of Law and Democracy in the Southern Mediterranean" (South Programme IV), the North-South Centre is coordinating a regional grant scheme which will support the implementation of national or local activities in Southern Mediterranean countries. It aims at promoting the multi-sectoral cooperation and/or coordination for the protection of victims/survivors of gender-based-violence in compliance with both human rights-based and victim-centred approaches.

The regional grant scheme will consist in the provision of a grant and preliminary capacity-building activity, to one organisation or consortium of organisations from civil society per target country of the project, namely Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine* and Tunisia.

Interested candidates must submit the required documentation by email ([email protected]) following the procedure as stated in the Call:

Women's voices at the heart of our awareness actions

LISTEN TO US

The North-South Centre raises awareness on obstacles and barriers, whether dictated by social norms or legal frameworks, which stand between survivors of sexual violence and access to justice. To promote a non-stereotyped view and to encourage the public opinion to support survivors of violence the North-South Centre created « Listen to us ». The video Listen to Us is the result of collaboration between the North-South Centre and youth artists from Algeria and Jordan. Houss Ine, member of the project SKIMI Radio in Algeria and creator the soundtrack, and the filmmaker Maysoon, creator of the Falak project in Jordan, were responsible for the creative direction of the video inspired by real stories and testimonies of survivors of sexual violence. The narrative was conceived with the support of young activists from Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine* and Portugal.
