ROSALIN Center for comprehensive crisis support to victims of domestic and gender based violence

About this project

<p>The project reacts to the long-term problem of the lack of specialized social services for victims of domestic and gender-based violence in the Czech Republic. This fact is reflected in various documents: The action plan for the prevention of domestic and gender-based violence for 2019-2022, Analysis of the availability of specialized social services for persons at risk of domestic and gender-based violence &nbsp;and Analysis of the quality and availability of specialized residential services for adult victims of domestic violence. The lack of &nbsp;crisis support for victims reflects the fact that there are only 3 providers of residential crisis support for the target group of victims of domestic violence in the Register of Social Service Providers. Thanks to the partnership with the City District of Prague 2, which will provide the necessary premises, we will establish a new Center for Comprehensive Crisis Support to Victims of Domestic and Gender-Based Violence. We will launch a non-stop toll-free telephone line for women experiencing all forms of domestic and gender-based violence, and we will launch program of SOS immediate assistance buttons for particularly vulnerable and disadvantaged victims. We will open an Academy of Specialized Support for social service providers who, although they have a registered target group of victims of domestic violence, lack specific procedures and standards for working with victims. Strengthening the specialization of these organizations will increase the availability of assistance to victims in the regions. The implementation of the project will have a positive impact on the target group of victims of domestic and gender-based violence through the activities described above. Through the Academy of Specialized Assistance, social service providers will benefit from the project.&nbsp;</p>
