Project Factsheet

Gender-based violence (GBV) is one of the most serious and pervasive human rights violations that not only affects the safety and security of victims, but also limits their freedoms and prevents their full individual and societal development. All forms of GBV bring long-term suffering to the survivors and their families, including physical and psychological trauma. The project aims at strengthening the capacities of criminal justice practitioners to prevent and respond to gender- based violence, ultimately leading to increased public trust in their responses.
