Women’s Consulting Center of Salamina Municipality
Women’s position in society has greatly improved over time. Women now work, are paid for their work and claim everything they want. Nevertheless, there are many difficulties that they must overcome. Katheti, as an educational and cultural institution, supports effectively people who want to improve or develop skills for a successful professional and personal course. Similar work, focused on the empowerment of women, is performed by many contemporary social structures. Such a service has also been operating in Salamina, since February 2021. It is the Women’s Consulting Center of Salamina Municipality.
Women are not alone
The women’s consulting center is staffed by a sociologist, a social worker, a psychologist and a lawyer. It aims to provide free multiple services. More specifically, it offers legal and professional counseling and information to women facing any discrimination in family, education and work. It implements employment promotion and networking activities for women with inability to access the labor market.
In addition, it provides social and psychological support for more effective handling of family relationships, dealing with any life problems, discrimination and violence that a woman may suffer. Main objective of the consulting center is empowering women to make life decisions based on their actual needs.
The women’s consulting center offers solidarity, correct information and support not only to the women of Salamina but also to those who live in the wider Argo-saronic Gulf area.
The counseling process is provided on a daily basis, but also whenever necessary for emergencies, with live sessions, by phone or via teleconference. In any case, the rules of confidentiality and privacy are strictly respected.
Katheti considers personal and professional development important. That is why it has launched the “Life and Career” program, which consists of career guidance, career counseling, coaching and mentoring, with interviews and videos. As an educational and cultural institution, it supports the Women’s Consulting Center of Salamina Municipality, which focuses specifically on women.
