Description
This grant, under Horizon Europe, funds research projects that address the drivers, impacts, and prevention of gender-based and politically motivated violence against women and LGBTIQ individuals in or aspiring to engage in political and public life. The focus is on understanding how such violence—both online and offline—affects participation, well-being, and aspirations, with a strong emphasis on intersectionality (e.g., considering disability, race, age, and other factors). Projects should analyze media portrayals, provide evidence-based policy recommendations, and promote inclusive environments. A multi-country, interdisciplinary approach is encouraged, leveraging data from European Research Infrastructures and engaging stakeholders, civil society, and those directly affected.
