A new tool has been prepared under the project “Raising awareness of the Istanbul Convention and other gender equality standards in Azerbaijan” to promote peer exchanges across institutions in the field of violence against women, domestic violence and gender equality and based on the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence, known as the Istanbul Convention.
This publication puts forward practical steps that government institutions can take in order to encourage exchanges among peers about good or promising practices and to improve legislation and policy in the field of violence against women, domestic violence and gender equality.
This tool is available for every country to use, irrespective where it stands as regards ratification of the Istanbul Convention – it seeks to promote practices that will support any member state wishing to better prevent and combat violence against women and to protect the rights of women in its territory.
The publication is available here in English and Azerbaijani .
The project “Raising awareness of the Istanbul Convention and other gender equality standards in Azerbaijan,” is funded by the European Union and the Council of Europe and implemented by the Council of Europe in their Partnership for Good Governance II 2019-2022.
