The manual is intended as a practical guide that can contribute ideas and facilitate planning for ongoing training and workshops. The first chapter of the manual summarizes the topic of living conditions for girls and women with intellectual disabilities and violence, as well as our attitudes towards it. It then addresses the goals of self-assertion training and outlines the fundamentals that should be considered when conducting self-assertion training for girls and women with intellectual disabilities. This is followed by a detailed presentation of various exercises on topics such as recognizing, perceiving, understanding, and taking feelings seriously, sensing and setting boundaries, language and body expression, recognizing one's own needs and acting accordingly, as well as building self-confidence. All areas are important for developing a positive self-esteem and are closely intertwined in reality. The division is intended only as a helpful framework.
