Background: Dialogic Feminist Gatherings (DFGs) fostered gender violence prevention among adolescents and young women in diverse educational settings. However, little was known about their impact on adult and older women without higher education, particularly regarding their contributions to broader social change through family and community relationships. This study addressed that gap by analyzing a DFG held in an adult education school in Barcelona with women from diverse backgrounds, as part of the R + D + i ALL WOMEN research project, aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 5. Methods: Using a qualitative case study with communicative methodology, the research drew on communicative observations, life stories, and a focus group. Results: Findings revealed that DFGs empowered participants individually and had a ripple effect in their communities. Through intergenerational dialogues with children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews, participants began to challenge and transform socialization patterns linked to gender violence risk factors. Conclusions: The study highlights the transformative potential of DFGs beyond formal education. It underscores the value of integrating dialogic and community-based approaches into adult education to promote gender equality and prevent violence across generations.
