The Gender Discrimination Management Center ERIFILI The Gender Discrimination Management Center "Erifili" is a multi-purpose space located in Sahtouri 64 , in Patras, that offers a well rounded organized framework for the intervention and empowerment in our community. Its main functions are experiential workshops, legal support and legal consulting, informative actions, exhibitions, conferences, events, as well as the development of an autonomous volunteer group, which is based in its area. The original initiator of the project is the lawyer, graduate of the School of Law of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, and graduate of the Department of Philosophy, Vassilis Markou. His specialization in the postgraduate program of "Bioethics" and the relevance of gender issues to legal science and philosophy, activated his interest in the formation of an interdisciplinary group, which will cover the gaps in the protection of gender inequalities, in an effort to contribute to the Greek "me too" movement. The scientific team: Stavroula Kordella, Vassilis Markou, Chrysoula Loukopoulou, Danai Petropoulou, Enni Androutseli and Maria Ioakeimidis collaborate for the implementation of this project. The dialogue of the scientific fields of psychology, law, criminology, philosophy and the positive sciences aims to alleviate inequalities in relationships and at work through a series of actions and interventions constantly before the stereotypical perceptions of our society. For this reason, the diffusion and communication of the operation, goals and actions of "ERIFYLI" is capable of contributing to the reduction of gender discrimination. Sexual violence Patriarchy thrives today. It is a system of ideas and individual considerations on which most modern societies are built. Clearly, it is known to empower – in an arbitrary way – the male gender and promote practices of coercion, oppression and compulsion. Through this view, practices have been naturalized, which continue to be reproduced in today's societies. These practices are related to the devaluation of women, the reinforcement of specific behaviors and genders - on the side of men - which are considered to reflect and stimulate their "masculinity" i.e. the prevalence of gender roles and stereotypical behaviors, the reinforcement of rape culture and its normalization. In the recent years, an increase of gender-based violence incidents has been noticed. There is not only the physical abuse (slapping, pushing, pulling hair, etc.)which threatens the physical integrity of the victim, but intimate partner violence takes many forms: verbal, psychological, physical, sexual and financial abuse– which leave no visible marks but are just as traumatic. Its effects affect important areas of people's lives, personality and mental health. We are trying to prevent and address the cycle of silence and abuse, aiming to contribute to the #metoo movement. Interventions: Empowerment workshops: conflict management, sexual education based on consent, strengthening of self-awareness and professional orientation, are topics that can act as a deterrent to future acts of violence, through the empowerment and education of the participants. Informative events in our conference venue, seminars, exhibitions, interventions in schools, operation of an autonomous voluntary group: Informing the community about the phenomenon and issues of gender-based violence is linked to the achievement of greater levels of equality by its members in their lives. Escape Plan: We provide a detailed practical step-by-step guide regarding the escape from an abusive relationship and we conduct the necessary legal actions in collaboration with our network of legal partners. Holistic treatment: Contact "ERIFYLI" and our network of partners and scientists in collaboration can offer the best individual direction to follow, confidentially and with dedication to each specific problem. The cooperation of the sciences of criminology, psychology and law is often necessary for a holistic intervention to the violence phenomena.

Όταν ένα άτομο υφίσταται σεξουαλική βία, οι άνθρωποι στους οποίους επιλέγει να το εκμυστηρευτεί παίζουν καθοριστικό ρόλο. Μία/Ένας συγγενής, φίλη/ος ή συνάδελφος που θα του συμπαρασταθεί μπορεί να θεωρηθεί σημαντική πηγή συμπαράστασης και βοήθειας. Ομάδα στόχος αυτού του εργαστηρίου είναι αυτή η μεγάλη και πολύ σημαντική «δεξαμενή» πρώτης υποδοχής ενός περιστατικού κακοποίησης. Εργαστήριο Πρώτων Βοηθειών σε άτομα που έχουν υποστεί έμφυλη βία Η ΚΟΙΝΣΕΠ “Εριφύλη” και οι εξειδικευμένες/οι συνεργάτιδες/τες της (δικηγόροι, ψυχολόγοι) έχουν αναπτύξει σεμινάριο «πρώτων βοηθειών ατόμων που δέχονται έμφυλη βία» σε αναλογία των αντίστοιχων σεμιναρίων πρώτων βοηθειών που έχουν αναπτυχθεί για περιστατικά σωματικής υγείας (π.χ. ΕΚΑΒ, Ερυθρός Σταυρός κ.α.). Το σεμινάριο δομημένο από τα μέλη μας σύμφωνα με τις βιβλιογραφικές πηγές που σχετίζονται με το θέμα, την εμπειρία τους στην υποστήριξη τέτοιων περιστατικών και την ανάπτυξη του έτι περαιτέρω ως πρωτογενές υλικό. Εκκινεί από τη διαπίστωση, ότι τα άτομα του κοντινού περιβάλλοντος τέτοιων περιπτώσεων που υφίστανται έμφυλη βία, οι συγγενείς, οι φίλες/φίλοι, επαγγελματίες που έρχονται σε επαφή μαζί τους συνήθως, ακόμα και τυχαίες/οι παρευρισκόμενες/οι, ως “πρώτες/οι υποδοχείς” μιας δυνάμει μαρτυρίας που μπορεί να οδηγήσει σε καταγγελία της κακοποίησης, είναι ιδιαίτερα κρίσιμοι για την αντιμετώπιση του προβλήματος. Οι «πρώτους υποδοχείς», επομένως συνηθίζουμε στην «Εριφύλη» να αποκαλούμε τα άτομα εκείνα, είτε είναι επαγγελματίες που σχετίζονται με θύματα έμφυλης βίας, είτε είναι φίλες/οι, συγγενείς, ή ακόμα ακόμα τρίτοι, που το θύμα για πρώτη φορά εμφανίζει μια διάθεση να ζητήσει βοήθεια. Το σεμινάριο μέχρι στιγμής έχει υλοποιηθεί σε επαγγελματίες που σχετίζονται με το θέμα (φοιτήτριες/ες ιατρούς, νοσηλεύτριες/ες, ψυχολόγους, παιδαγωγούς, επαγγελματίες στρατού), αλλά και στο ευρύ κοινό, ενώ ανάλογα με το κοινό που απευθύνονται προσαρμόζονται αναλόγως μέσα από μια δυναμική σχέση μέσου/σκοπού. Σε πρώτο στάδιο διερευνούνται τα στερεότυπα και οι μύθοι, που αναπαράγονται στη κοινωνία μας σχετικά με το φαινόμενο της έμφυλης βίας και προκαλείται η τεκμηριωμένη αποδόμησή τους, ώστε να γίνει κατανοητή η θέση ενός κακοποιημένου ατόμου, ώστε η προσέγγισή του και η επαφή μαζί του να είναι ενημερωμένη και να εμπεριέχει το στοιχείο της ενσυναίσθησης. Σε δεύτερο στάδιο, οι συμμετέχουσες/οντες, αφού αποκτούν δεξιότητες, ώστε να μπορούν να δημιουργήσουν ένα ασφαλές πλαίσιο ανάπτυξης του προβλήματος απο το κακοποιημένο μέρος σε όλη του τη διάσταση, προοπτική που τίθεται ως ζητούμενο και δεν είναι καθόλου αυτονόητη, καθώς η ψυχολογική κατάσταση του, οι ενοχές που το συνοδεύουν και οι στερεοτυπικές αντιλήψεις της κοινωνίας που προαναφέρθηκαν, το οδηγούν στην απομόνωση και την εσωστρέφεια. Σε τρίτο στάδιο, οι συμμετέχουσες/οντες αποκτούν εργαλεία ορθής και μεθοδευμένης επικουρίας στοιχειοθέτησης μιας καταγγελίας, με τρόπο ώστε αφενός το κακοποιημένο μέρος να παραμείνει ασφαλές και αφετέρου η κατάληξη να έχει την όσο το δυνατό περισσότερο εμπεριστατωμένη θεμελίωση της υπόθεσής του. Σε αυτό το στάδιο, οι συμμετέχουσες/οντες αποκτούν γνώσεις για τα αποδεικτικά στοιχεία που μπορούν να συλλεγούν και για την ενημερωμένη επαφή που μπορούν να έχουν οι ίδιες/ίδιοι ως “πρώτοι υποδοχείς”, με τα νοσοκομεία, τα δικαστήρια, την αστυνομία, τους δικηγόρους και το που μπορούν να παραπέμψουν ένα περιστατικό για την καλύτερη και πληρέστερη αντιμετώπιση του προβλήματος. Εν τέλει, όλη αυτή η διαδρομή καταλήγει στη σημασία που έχει οι “πρώτοι υποδοχείς” να συμμετέχουν με την εμπειρία τους στην δύσκολη ανάβαση που πρέπει να μετέλθει ένα άτομο που δέχεται έμφυλη βία, μέχρι τον απεγκλωβισμό του απο τη κακοποίηση που δέχεται και τελικά την τιμώρηση του δράστη, καθώς η δική τους μαρτυρία σε όλη αυτή την εξέλιξη είναι ένα ακόμα κρίσιμο αποδεικτικό στοιχείο που μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί, όταν εμφανιστεί η ανάγκη.

Η αντιμετώπιση των σύνθετων προβλημάτων της εποχής μας δεν εξαντλείται σε μια δικαστική διαμάχη ή σε κάποια σειρά ατομικών συνεδριών, όπου το άτομο αντιμετωπίζεται ως διάδικος ή ως ασθενής στο δικαστήριο ή στον παραδοσιακό ψυχαναλυτικό καναπέ. Υπάρχουν περιπτώσεις, που χρήζουν μιας πιο σύνθετης μεταχείρισης με συνεργασία της νομικής με την ψυχολογική υποστήριξη. Η ομάδα της "Εριφύλης" έρχεται να καλύψει αυτό το κενό με την ομάδα της που απαρτίζεται από τις κατάλληλες διαφορετικές ειδικότητες. Υλοποιούμε μια σειρά από εργαστήρια που καταπιάνονται με την γυναικεία ενδυνάμωση, την πρόληψη και αντιμετώπιση της έμφυλης βίας και των έμφυλων διακρίσεων, αλλά και τις προκλήσεις που αντιμετωπίζουν οι θηλυκότητες του σήμερα σε μια κοινωνία που ακόμα δεν έχει απαλείψει τις στερεοτυπικές αντιλήψεις που συνοδεύουν τα φύλα.

Δικηγόρος, απόφοιτος της Νομικής Σχολής του Εθνικού και Καποδιστριακού Πανεπιστημίου Αθηνών. MSc Βιοηθική. Το 2020 εντάχθηκε σε μια ομάδα από βουλευτές και νομικούς με στόχο την κατάρτιση του νομικού πλαισίου για τα θύματα έμφυλης βίας στα πλαίσια της έξαρσης του ελληνικού κινήματος του «metoo». Vasilis Markou Founding member of "Erifilis" Lawyer, Graduate of the Department of Philosophy, MSc Bioethics Phone: 6999924333 E-mail: vasilismarkou14@gmail.com Vassilis Markou is a lawyer, a graduate of the Law School of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. He has been practicing law in Patras since 2014 as his main occupation. In legal science, he was stimulated by the strict methodicality and formality of the reasoning that characterizes it, as well as the rich development of the Greek language, refined over the centuries. At the same time, he did not stop researching through his personal searches topics of wider interests, mainly of philosophical content. This led him, alongside his profession, to complete the undergraduate department of Philosophy in Patras in 2021, while in the same year he started the interdepartmental (Law, Medicine) master's degree in "Bioethics" of the University of Thrace, remotely due to the pandemic , in which he is a senior. He writes in the press with articles of legal and political interest, such as the following: "Within the Law", Avgi 05-09-2019, "New Illusions Coming from the Past", Epochi 05/16/2020, "Centralized State of Technocrats, Avgi 12 -08-2019, "The rise of crime or the rise of excesses", Avgi 09-07-2019, "The irresponsible bidding of history", Peloponnisos 16-04-2020, "The compulsion of the Constitution", Avgi 21-11-2019. Since 2019, he has been working as a scientific associate at the Parliament. In 2020, he joined a group of parliamentarians and lawyers with the aim of drawing up an updated legal framework for victims of gender-based violence in the context of the rise of the Greek "metoo" movement. The close relevance of this effort and the scholarly subject of his master's degree to issues of gender and gender discrimination led him to research and engage with legal feminism. Being a member of Amnesty International, she joined the gender group of the Organization having a continuous and active participation. His participation in Amnesty International began in 2018, contributing to the re-establishment of its branch in Patras. At the same time, he turned the topic of his master's thesis to the feminist dimension of unnecessary medical procedures in caesarean section. With the free self-determination of the body and the emancipation of subjects from patriarchal stereotypes as central indicators of its content, it focused on the violation of women's rights in the processes of reproduction and care. He participates in conferences and informative seminars on the issues of gender inequalities, as a listener and speaker. He is one of the founding members of "ERIFYLI", hoping to contribute to the effort of holistically addressing unequal parts in relationships, marriage and work, through the legal support of the participants/participants. At the same time, because of the claim to eliminate gender inequalities is linked to scientific research and public information, and because the feminist movement is one of the most maligned movements, it aims to participate with other members in the dissemination of the knowledge that will be produced in "ERIFYLI".
