SURT Barceloneta, a space for growth, empowerment, and connection

The month of March saw the opening of the SURT Space in Barceloneta, a benchmark organisation in the field of equality and the fight against male violence, which promotes different programmes aimed at empowering women, especially those who are most vulnerable. Different projects have already been set up in the first months of the year.


Through the Abriendo Puertas Program

20 women in the process of job research are finding a safe and trustworthy space from which to undertake a process of improving their employability and skills, as well as strengthening their self-esteem and emotional wellbeing. The women who come to the Opening Doors Programme receive individualised attention, which allows us to get to know each case in depth and to accompany them in the process in a way that is more tailored to each individual’s unique needs. Additionally, a group intervention is provided to share experiences. In this sense, Abriendo Puertas provides a privileged space for creating bonds and relationships of mutual support among women, while also connecting them to community resources and initiatives.

The program takes a comprehensive look at the needs of women, addressing both their basic needs and other services and resources, such as legal services, digital training, support with online procedures, and psychological support for women experiencing gender-based violence.


Youth Care Program

The Espai SURT Barceloneta also aims to host innovative projects aimed at young people, and considers the neighborhood one of its priorities. The goal is to promote a program for young people who want to pursue training or entrepreneurship to improve their job opportunities and open a future in emerging sectors.
