As part of our pilot project, we plan to develop a policy and awareness toolkit for local and regional authorities to effectively combat domestic violence.
Our NGO is based in France, so we will draw on the French experience. The head of our NGO now lives and works in Strasbourg – so we will use the relevant documents from the Council of Europe bodies.
We plan that our final toolkit will include:
- legal and policy recommendations based on French best practice and relevant Council of Europe standards;
- practical resources for awareness-raising campaigns;
- strategies to empower local and regional authorities to address this critical issue.
We will share more details – and then publish a call for volunteers – international and national experts who would like to join our team.
