An initiative providing AI-driven solutions to gender-based violence among youth
GA number: 101183243
Funded by: Erasmus+ Duration: 01/10/2024 – 30/09/2027

Challenge
Gender-based violence (GBV) among youth manifests in various forms, including stalking, sexual harassment, dating violence, and online grooming, as highlighted by recent studies. The impact of GBV, ranging from physical injuries to psychological trauma, is far-reaching, affecting individuals, families, and society as a whole, and leading to a cycle of violence that can perpetuate across generations.
Innovation
SHIELD pioneers the use of AI as a proactive tool to combat the pervasive and deeply sensitive issues of gender-based violence (GBV) among youth, specifically addressing harassment, stalking, teenage dating violence, and online grooming. It provides innovative tools and training for both young people and youth workers.
