Calls for proposals: Prevent and combat gender-based violence and violence against children

21 June 2017
by Catherine MALLET

This European Commission call for proposals could be particularly interesting for the Salvation Army’s anti-human trafficking work and protection of victims of gender based violence. The call has the following 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.
• 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
• 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
• 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.
• National coordinating frameworks or action plans for violence against children (supporting Member States and other actors).
