Resume

This project aims at strengthening the partnership between Mor Çatı (Turkey) and Danner (Denmark) to improve gender sensitive psychological support for women survivors of violence in Turkey. By building the capacity of frontline staff—especially psychologists—the project ensures that women survivors of violence receive trauma-informed, feminist, and qualified care. Through training and knowledge exchange, survivors of violence will have better chances to break free from violence and build resilience. The project also reinforces Mor Çatı’s role as a key feminist organisation defending women’s rights in Turkey, at a time when institutional support for survivors is weakening.
