The Fédération will give 40 awareness-raising workshops in 5 regions, will hold 5 consultations on the needs of women and will train 5 regional interveners for victims of violence. Along with its key partners, the group will develop and make available to victims empowerment tools including a directory of services in French that provides them with options for breaking the cycle of violence, thus enabling them to live more independently in their community.
