– Hugsa gagnrýnt um og afbyggja félagsmótun kyns og stigveldi þess
-Efla samstöðu og styðja við þolendur/varnarfólk sem vilja byrja eða halda áfram með bataferli.
– Auka þekkingu á mismunandi birtingarmyndum ofbeldis, m.a. til að auðveldara sé að koma auga á það, tala um það og berjast gegn því.
-Þróa einstaklingsbundnar og hópatengdar aðferðir sem eru skilvirkar í að koma í veg fyrir ofbeldi.

If you are a member of the RVK Tool Library and bring something to be repaired, please also bring a snack for our shared snack table.
If you are not a member yet, you can join as a new member (or buy someone a awesome Tool Library Membership gift card or you can make a donation.***
***All donations will be used to take the volunteers for Ice Cream OR a beer, depending on how much we gather.
We can not guarantee everything will be repaired for sure, but the awesome volunteers involved in this project will surely try their best 😉
This event will happen monthly at the RVK TL.
Hope to see you there!
