The main objective of action of Cooperativa EVA is the safeguard of women from violence in domestic situations, by violent husbands, partners, fathers o brothers, providing life alternatives for them and their children (in antiviolence centre, safe houses,…).
Beside of this care activity versus traumatized women, there is a continuous job of “construction of a new future”, starting for acknowledgement of potential of women up to creation of interactions, sinergies, projects that create occupation and economic independence (e.g. “è un’impresa dire no alla violenza” at Casal di Principe with Ghiottonerie di Casa Lorena for women occupation, Punto Luce with Save the Children always at Casal di Principe for children safeguard, “Mascherine contro la violenza” for providing of facemasks during Covid-19 emergency to women operators of Italian antiviolence centers).
All activities described above are mainly done in Province of Caserta, a difficult area in regional scenario of Campania from the point of view of employment, that often forces the women to renunce to work to dedicate only to home and family.
