The project concerns the continuation of the operation and the upgrading of the Women’s Hostel of the Municipality of Thessaloniki, in order to prevent and combat gender violence against women. The Hospitality Hostel of the Municipality of Thessaloniki is part of the nationwide network of supporting structures (Advisory Centres, guesthouses and telephone line 15900) and is complementary to the project “Horizontal interventions of national scope” to prevent and combat violence against women. The purpose of the Hostel is to provide women – victims of gender violence and their children with hospitality, security, psychological and social support from specialised scientific staff, as well as support for their integration into the labour market when required. It also facilitates access to legal counselling by referral to the Advisory Centres.
