ViViDo - Management Platform of the Portuguese National Support Network for Victims of Domestic Violence

About this project

<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The purpose of the project is to create a digital platform, as a management tool to provide in-depth, systematic, up-to-date knowledge of the national landscape on the violence against women and domestic violence. This represents a strategic response to the territorial priorities of National Network for Supporting Victims of Domestic Violence's (RNAVVD). The platform aims to deepen knowledge and investigate the violence against women and domestic violence at the local and regional level; monitor and evaluate public policies for prevention, protection and safety of victims; qualify, support and consolidate the intervention of the network services that integrate RNAVVD and its professionals for an articulated, informed, timely and effective intervention.</span></p> <p><br> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The design of the platform is based on 3 principles: establishing strategic partnerships between academia/private sector/organized civil society, privileging co-responsibility, multidisciplinarity and knowledge transfer; optimizing existing networks; meeting all social, cultural and local diversity as ethical imperatives. Based on these principles, the design of the platform is triggered by a process of benchmarking, as well as systematic monitoring of the entities involved in RNAVVD. Once the platform generates confidential information about victims, hearings will be held to gather fundamental contributions/guidelines (ethics, principles, concepts, norms, procedures, risks, etc.) to strengthen and ensure greater quality, security and effectiveness in the use of the platform.</span></p> <p><br> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The technical construction of platform considers 3 phases of execution: 1) design of the digital platform having as requirements all the guidelines (included those of preservation of the security of the data on the victims); 2) development of the platform, contemplating a testing phase; 3) delivery of the documentation, training of the user entities, as well as the specification of the requirements for its operation and effectiveness.</span></p>
