  • Police for the training of prosecutors and police officers on the Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence Against Women and Domestic Violence (Istanbul Convention)

After the ratification of the Istanbul Convention by Romania, in 2016, the National Agency for Equal Opportunities between Women and Men (ANES) intensified its activity in the field of combating domestic violence, in cooperation with the Romanian Network for Prevention and Combating Violence against Women. Accessing EU structural funds and the infrastructure of the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection at the local level through the General Departments of Social Assistance and Child Protection, in 2020, ANES managed to establish and capacitate integrated services for victims of domestic violence in each county – 42 sheltered homes, with a capacity of 262 places, 42 support groups, 42 vocational counselling offices (“Venus” Project). Later on, these services became local partners with whom ANES implemented information campaigns and continued building their capacity in the field, including training mobile teams, opening 8 centres for perpetrators of domestic violence and 10 intervention centres for victims of sexual violence. The partnership extended to the Ministry of Justice and the Police for the training of prosecutors and police officers on the Istanbul Convention. View more
