Description
The project contributes to the programme outcome "Reduced domestic and gender-based violence and gender inequalities". The donor project partner in this project is the Norwegian Centre for Violence and Traumatic Stress Studies (NKVTS).
The project will improve the system for support to victims of domestic and gender-based violence to ensure a systematic, sustainable and coordinated approach to combat such violence.
The Project Promoter is the Estonian National Social Insurance Board, which will collaborate with all relevant organisations active in the field (primary care physicians, women shelter organisations) who will be consulted / involved to the project activities.
Target groups of the project are victims of violence (children, women, men), perpetrators of violence and specialists who come into contact with victims of violence.
To be successful in preventing the domestic and gender based violence in the long term, this project will:
- develop a volunteers’ system to accomplice state victim support,
- develop interventions for perpetrators of violence,
- develop an early detection system for health care workers,
- provide counselling and/or abilities for that to specialists at woman’s shelters,
- provide a quality assessment tool for women’s shelters.
