Marvow Project

As we close the MARVOW 2.0 project today, the work doesn’t stop here.

Our European workshops brings together key materials to help you better understand and address violence against older women. Because preventing violence means working together. It’s essential to address violence where it happens, including with perpetrators - even when they are older. Its never too late for change.
Get informed, take action, and be part of the solution.

At the MARVOW 2.0 Conference in Brussels, policymakers and experts came together to confront violence against older women - an issue still hidden at the intersection of ageism and sexism.

The conference made one thing clear: violence against older women is real, widespread, and still overlooked. A lifetime of suffering can be shortened by small, timely interventions. A doctor’s words. A phone number. A door that opens. Small changes can save years of pain.

We call on EU institutions and organisations to act - by raising awareness, funding specialised services, embedding age-sensitive approaches in policy, and ensuring older women’s voices shape the solutions.

Thank you to all speakers and participants for making the unseen visible!
