The project seeks to identify gaps in how the response to GBV victims is organised, as well as best practices in both generic and specialist support services and propose a tailored, exhaustive, victim-centric response to victims of GBV.
The project, funded by the CERV program of the European Commission, runs for 36 months and started in April 2023.
