Deadline: 14 November 2017
The European Union (EU) is seeking proposals for its programme entitled “Prevent and combat gender-based violence and violence against children”.
Programme Priorities
- Prevention of gender-based violence (GBV): The focus is on primary prevention, i.e. changing social attitudes and behaviour, in order to end tolerance of all forms of violence. This involves tackling prejudices and gender stereotypes and norms that encourage or condone violence, as well as preventing victimisation through education about healthy relationships and their rights.
- Indicative amount: 2 500 000 EUR
- Protection and support for victims of gender-based violence and violence against children, including through tackling under-reporting and promoting multi-disciplinary cooperation among relevant professionals.
- Indicative amount: 3 206 000 EUR
- The coordination and/or adaptation of support services for sexual and gender-based violence to include refugees and migrants (children, women, LGBTQI persons, young men and boys), in particular to ensure their recovery from such trauma. The aim is not to create new or parallel services but to adapt them in an inclusive manner.
- Indicative amount: 3 000 000 EUR
- Treatment of perpetrators, in order to prevent reoffending. The aim is to support the development of perpetrator treatment programmes and capacity-building among professionals working in this area, with the aim of preventing reoffending and further protecting victims.
- Indicative amount: 1 000 000 EUR
- National coordinating frameworks or action plans for violence against children (supporting Member States and other actors). The aim is to support Member States in developing and implementing national coordinating frameworks to eliminate all forms of violence against children (which would cover a number of different areas and issues).
- Indicative amount: 3 000 000 EUR
