Years of experience have shown the numerous positive effects and the research has revealed similar results. Some examples include: the possibility of sharing a common experience, the experience of mutual aid, of solidarity and the learning of new behaviours.<\/p>\n<p>The group process serves as a springboard: when several people find themselves on the same path and are concerned by the same problem, each one is carried along by the strength of the group. There is also a greater chance of experiencing a deeper and more lasting change. It is important to remember that violence is not only an individual problem, but also a social one: the best thing is therefore to work on it together.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; global_module=&#8221;162&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#C7B768&#8243; divider_position=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;a46fb1a5-5787-406c-984c-e5bbd7bf54df&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Intervention approaches<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;a46fb1a5-5787-406c-984c-e5bbd7bf54df&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Our services are based on a pro-feminist reading of the issue with objectives such as building egalitarian relationships and ending violence against women.
