The activities of the project strive to contribute to <\/span>sensitising the community, as well as to create the conditions for additional expansion of services intended for former prisoners, their children, and families.<\/b><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.7.5″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px|||||” saved_tabs=”all” global_module=”4003″]<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n
