It promotes the FJC model and provides a central platform for its members. As an umbrella organization the Alliance exchanges knowledge, experiences and good practices among its members. The focus of the European Alliance for Hope and Empowerment is the development of a multidisciplinary approach of gender-based violence, domestic violence, sexual violence and child abuse.
