Framework for the Action
Integrating framework for partnership strategy - the
Council of Europe Convention on preventing and
combating violence against women and domestic
violence (2011).
Developed a joint strategy that will contribute to the
establishment of a comprehensive and coherent
legislative and policy solution for VAW in the Western
Balkans (WB).
The strategy should speed up the processes of:
(a) ratification of the new CoE Convention
(b) harmonisation of national laws and policies with the
provisions of the CoE Convention
(c) full implementation of the CoE Convention at the
national and local level.
Prerequisite for all this is that women's CSOs and networks in
the WB region develop capacities for active participation
in state-civil society dialogue in order to achieve a
significant impact on the countries towards reaching the
goals and the purpose of the CoE Convention.
