GBFE project – Gender Balance Financial Education

the project

The project aims to reduce the gender gap in financial education, with a specific focus on women facing disadvantages or specific challenges. Through financial education programs and support, it aims to provide them with the necessary skills to independently manage their financial resources. Additionally, it recognizes the importance of addressing the broader issue of domestic violence, often rooted in the lack of financial control within family dynamics. Therefore, the project seeks to contribute not only to increased financial literacy but also to a safer and fairer environment within families.

Women suffering from addictions (drugs, alcohol, and gambling etc.).
Not included women (e.g. immigrant women not yet integrated into the community, single mothers).

Approximately 40 disadvantaged women from each country are expected to be involved in answering the questionnaires, and a minimum of 50 women in the virtual training offered by the basic financial education course
