The proposed model focuses primarily on counteracting familial violence in a systemic manner, i.e. supporting the victims and helping them gain economic independence. The main elements of the initiative include ensuring work and access to training to the beneficiaries. The social cooperatives, established especially for the purpose, help apply vocational skills of the women experiencing violence in practice and improve their qualifications in the special training programmes.

The system fosters the establishment of social enterprises and local cooperatives, activating the members of a given local community.
