What are we aiming for?

Provide an evidence-based analysis of how different types of victim support services, as set out in the Crime Victims' Rights Directive (Articles 8 and 9), can work together to meet the needs of victims of gender-based violence, particularly domestic violence. The project intends to create special tools that will help victim support organizations to provide gender-based support to victims of domestic violence by conducting organizational self-assessment (OSA) and simultaneously improving individual needs assessment (INA) for victims of domestic violence. An intensive period of capacity building will allow partner and non-partner organizations to successfully implement OSA, ensure they are gender-responsive in service delivery, and start implementing the INA tools that will be developed through the project.

 

Project goals:

- Investigate gender differences in both general and specialized services provided to victims of violence against women and violence;

- to propose indicators on how to assess and verify whether services are provided taking into account gender;

- To examine how general and specialized service providers can best cooperate and coordinate their actions in relation to the needs of victims of violence against women and men;

- provide solutions on how organizations can improve their practices and activities so that they can better respond to the requirements of institutional level gender equality support; 

- develop tailor-made methods to identify and respond to the individual needs of victims;

- build the capacity of partner and non-partner organizations to better respond to the needs of violence against women and men at both organizational and individual levels.
