Changing the conversation for girls in Albania

Around 120 girl students, women from different walks of life and survivors of domestic violence and trafficking received training on self-defense and personal safety during the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence. Empowerment through Self Defense methodology (ESD) was combined with Aikido martial art. UN Women in Albania, in partnership with Aikido Albania, the Municipality of Tirana, the Ministry of Health and Social Protection and with the financial support of the Swedish Government organized five different training as part of the campaign.
