Sources: 6. Developments: 2. The Regional Coordination of Anti-Violence Centers in Calabria (CADIC) issued an urgent appeal for structural interventions to combat gender-based violence. The coordination requested a transition from emergency-based responses to permanent, well-funded support systems, specifically calling for continuous fund disbursement, emotional education in schools, strengthened local networks, and specialized training for law enforcement and healthcare workers. In response to such needs, the Calabria Region presented a three-year intervention plan for 2026-2028. The plan, which includes a declaration of intent between the Regional Government and the Regional School Office, has allocated over 6.5 million euros from regional and EU funds. This includes approximately 300,000 euros for school prevention programs. While the plan aims to establish a territorial network of schools, health services, and law enforcement, the group Collettivo Aurora Catanzaro criticized the initiative, calling for the Municipality of Catanzaro to create a consultation table to ensure feminist associations and local centers are involved in school education efforts. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-19: Calabria Region launches gender-based violence prevention plan Calabria has launched a 2026-2028 regional plan to combat gender-based violence, allocating over 6.5 million euros, including 300,000 euros for school prevention programs. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/calabria-region-launches-gender-based-violence-prevention-plan ### 2026-08-21: Calabria anti-violence centers demand structural resources Anti-violence centers in Calabria (CADIC) are demanding structural resources, continuous funding, and specialized training to combat gender-based violence and prevent femicide in the region. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/calabria-anti-violence-centers-demand-structural-resources --- Cite as: Gender-based violence prevention in Calabria.
