Recognizing Domestic Violence and Knowing How to Respond, maandag 7 december 2026

Recognize the signs. Break the silence. Take action.
 
Domestic violence is not always visible and goes beyond physical abuse. How can we recognize the warning signs, and what can we do when we suspect someone is experiencing violence at home?
 
During this interactive workshop, we explore the visible and hidden signs of domestic violence and how individuals and communities can respond. Through practical scenarios, anonymous input and group discussions, participants learn how to recognize concerning situations and respond safely and supportively.
 
As part of "Orange the World: End Violence Against Women", this workshop encourages women and men to take action and contribute to a safer community.
 
Workshop objectives

• Recognize visible and less-visible signs of domestic violence.
• Understand how to respond safely and supportively.

Everyone who wants to better understand domestic violence and learn how to respond. Women and men, Dutch and international residents are welcome. No one is expected to share personal experiences.
