Project ENABLE (Early Network-based Action against abusive Behaviours to Leverage victim Empowerment) is a 2 year project that has the threefold aim of: preventing domestic violence (DV)/gender-based violence (GBV); protecting victims; and launching and formalising integrated interventions.
The project is rooted in the ZEUS Protocol, a 2018 Protocol Agreement – renewed in 2019 – between the Central Anticrime Directorate of the National Police in Milan (SCA) and CIPM for the effective implementation of Laws no. 38/2009 and 119/2013 on DV and GBV. The Protocol Agreement ensures an early, multi-level, multiagency integrated response to GBV, so as to safeguard victims and potential victims. It entails that individuals who are issued a warning for DV or stalking by the police after victims or bystanders.
