The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a project to design, implement, and evaluate a model for early attention, investigation, and prosecution of crimes associated with gender-based violence (GBV). This solicitation seeks proposals to strengthen the efforts to prevent femicides and gender-based violent crimes.
Project Goal(s) and Objectives
- Goal: Justice and security sector institutions respond to, investigate, and prosecute crimes of gender-based violence in a manner that is timely and well-coordinated to stem cycles of violence that if left unattended, may lead to femicide.
- The capacity and knowledge of these operators will be reinforced with a gender perspective through the following objectives:
- Objective 1: Mexican security and justice institutions adopt a GBV risk mitigation and prevention model that provides early attention to victims, facilitates effective and coordinated investigations and prosecutions, and manages GBV cases appropriately based on the individual characteristics of each case.
- Objective 2: Mexican security and justice institutions and operators achieve a working understanding of their respective roles in responding to GBV and use this knowledge to improve system-wide response to GBV cases.
- Objective 3: Victims of GBV increasingly avail themselves of the public resources available to assist them.
