Empowering Albanian women and girls to prevent violence

The training was organized by UN Women in November 2020, in collaboration with Aikido Albania and Empowerment through Self Defense (ESD) Global. As a result, Albania now has its first generation of self-defense instructors who have already started to provide training and support to survivors of violence, as well as to women and girls generally. This is a follow-up to the first training in 2019.This training was delivered with the support of UN Women, under the "UN joint program on eliminating violence against women and girls in Albania," financed by the Swedish Government.
