Deadline: 8-Aug-22
The Ministry of Justice, Operator of the “Justice” Program, co-financed by the Norwegian Financial Mechanism for 2014-2021, announces an open call for applications under the Small Grants Fund 1 in the program area of Counteracting domestic violence and gender-based violence.
The purpose of the call for proposals is to test solutions leading to improved early prevention of domestic violence – to stop violence before it occurs, by addressing the different risk factors associated with domestic violence.
To achieve this goal, the measures addressing root causes of different forms of domestic violence should be developed and people should be made aware of behaviours that can be classified as domestic violence or that can lead to domestic violence.
The projects shall contribute to the improvement of the domestic violence prevention system thus reducing the occurrence of domestic violence. One of the important assumptions adopted in the tested model is a link between improving the quality of relations in couples or previous couples, and among family members and reducing the risk of violent behaviour. The main goal of the projects is to implement and test services provided at the stage of early prevention of domestic violence.
All programmes and activities funded by the Norwegian Financial Mechanism 2014-21 shall be based on the common values of respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and the respect for human rights including the rights of persons belonging to minorities.
