Framework for the Action
Integrating framework for partnership strategy - the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence (2011).
Developed a joint strategy that will contribute to the establishment of a comprehensive and coherent legislative and policy solution for VAW in the Western Balkans (WB).
The strategy should speed up the processes of:
(a) ratification of the new CoE Convention (b) harmonisation of national laws and policies with the
provisions of the CoE Convention (c) full implementation of the CoE Convention at the
national and local level.
Prerequisite for all this is that women's CSOs and networks in the WB region develop capacities for active participation in state-civil society dialogue in order to achieve a significant impact on the countries towards reaching the goals and the purpose of the CoE Convention.
Activities

on the national level: advocacy activities
