Description
The main objective of the project is to improve the system for prevention of domestic and gender-based violence. The planned activities shall be in compliance with the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence (Istanbul Convention), with a focus on Article 7 of the Convention. The project shall aim at prioritizing victims’ rights and needs.
The project focuses on two Ps: Prevention and Integrated Policies. The main goal of the project is to find a solution which helps to identify risk of domestic and gender based violence before it happens.
The crucial task of the project is to develop a system model of integrated services to prevent domestic violence, which could be implemented after a trial phase in the selected municipalities. The project is planned to be 44 months long and the main activities consist of: the evaluation of existing solutions and possibilities to create a model for the prevention of domestic violence and the development of the model of integrated system of preventing domestic violence. The evaluation is about reviewing the existing solutions in individual countries. It will be based both on the analysis of existing data (scientific literature, knowledge bases, databases of ministries) and those obtained during the project (interviews, observations, surveys - if necessary). The evaluation will be followed by developing a model of preventing violence, including a supporting tool in assessing the probability (likeliness) of domestic violence.
The developed model will be tested in five different local communities within projects under the Small Grant Scheme.
Once testing the model is completed, the actions undertaken in a test phase will be assessed regarding their effectiveness from the perspective of the system and users (families). After that the conclusions and recommendations will be formulated and the final model will be designed and disseminated.
