FR- Elena Samoila est diplômée en Sciences Politiques avec une spécialisation en Politics, Gender and Minorities. Elle travaille pour le Centre FILIA, une organisation féministe où elle a acquis des expériences surtout dans l’organisation des communitées. Pendants ce temps, elle a rencontré plusieures femmes qui ont subi des violences et essayé de mieux comprendre le contexte de ces femmes. En outre, aux côtés de ses collègues, elle tente d’autonomiser les femmes, de faire entendre leur voix et de les écouter. Son domaine  est la violence faite aux femmes, en particulier la violence familiale et le harcèlement sexuel.

EN- Elena Samoila graduated in Political Sciences which helped her discover and developed interest in feminism. She continued her studies at Politics, Gender and Minorities MA. During this time, she joined FILIA Center, a feminist organization, where she gained experiences especially in community building, which is the most important part of her work. In a relatively short period of time, she met hundreds of women with different social backgrounds and she found out more about their problems regarding gender violence trying to understand more about the realities the women are living. In addition, alongside her colleagues, she tries to empower women, to make their voices be heard and listened. Her main area of interest is violence against women, especially domestic violence and sexual harassment.
