Protection and support system for women experiencing violence

About this project

<p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">In Slovakia, one in three women, more than 23%, will experience violence during their lifetime (European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights, 2014). The responsibility for protecting women from violence lies with the state. For ten years, however, the state has not monitored certain areas that are relevant to the theme Violence against women. The main goal of the project is to create tools for monitoring the system of protection and support of women in the Slovak Republic. In the project Fenestra will map and analyze the conditions, process the results into recommendations and prepare a comprehensive report on the situation. The findings from the research will be used&nbsp; for advocacy activities and will be used to open a dialogue with relevant actors. The outcomes of the projects will be shared with other civil society organizations. The main activities of the project are: Map and prepare a status analysis, process the results on a recommendation and prepare a comprehensive report. The report will include the recommendations resulting from the results of the mapping and analysis of the system of protection and support of women experiencing violence, as well as with findings in specific areas (specific support services, collection of administrative data, ensuring access to justice). International institutions ( The Council of Europe and the European Commission, the GREVIO Committee, UN committees such as CAT and CEDAW) will also be informed about the results of the project. All relevant stakeholders will be involved in advocacy activities such as round tables and expert seminars. The project partner association Hana will continuously participate in all project activities. At the same time as an association from smaller city they will develop their skill and capacities by sharing them with more experienced Project promoter.&nbsp; </span></span></p>
