Mapping support services for victims of VAW/DV in the EU-27

The purpose of this project is to develop a harmonised set of indicators for classifying and measuring the availability and use of support services in the EU-27, thereby contributing to the standardisation of administrative data collection; it will also support the implementation and monitoring of the relevant provisions in both the Directive and the Istanbul Convention. In addition, the project will assess how various support services operate as part of an integrated support system. It will analyse specific barriers and challenges faced by vulnerable groups of women and children in accessing these services. To this end, the proposed methodology will incorporate an intersectional approach wherever feasible.
