The partnership examines what it means to have gendered support services for victims of DV aims to provide an evidence-based analysis of how generic and specialist victim support services can collaborate in responding to needs of victims of GBV/DV across the EU.

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.
