Results, benefits, impact and lessons learnt

During the review, especially following the photographs, it happened that some women, to her own surprise, felt the need to ask for help. In these cases, the request for help is immediately accepted by the Sos Rosa association, through the presence of educators from the anti-violence center. The method used also has an effect on boys and girls, who speak about themselves, not necessarily with words, but through gesture, sign and movement.
