Call for proposals
Rights,
Equality and Citizenship Programme - “Prevent and combat gender-based
violence and violence against children” – REC-RDAP-GBV-AG-2017
Objectives and description
The Directorate General for Justice has published a call for proposals under the
Rights, Equality and Citizenship Programme 2014-2020, with the specific
topic: “Prevent and combat gender-based violence and violence against
children” – REC-RDAP-GBV-AG-2017.
The aim of this call is to prevent
and combat all forms of violence against children, young people and
women, as well as violence against other groups at risk, in particular
groups at risk of violence in close relationships, and to protect
victims of such violence.
For the purposes of this call:
· Gender-based violence is defined as
violence directed against a person because of that person's gender or
as violence that affects persons of a particular gender
disproportionately;
· Violence against children is understood to mean
"all forms of physical or mental violence, injury or abuse, neglect of
negligent treatment, maltreatment or exploitation including sexual
abuse" as listed in Article 19(1) of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and in alignment with the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child's General comment No. 13 (2011) on the right of the child to freedom from all forms of violence.
This call will focus on the following priorities:
1. 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;
2. Protection and support for victims of gender-based violence and violence against children: tackling under-reporting and promoting multi-disciplinary cooperation among relevant professionals;
3. 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): The
aim is not to create new or parallel services but to adapt them in an
inclusive manner. This call will not fund operating or running costs,
but is intended to build capacity and adapt frameworks to
include
people in migration, in a practical way, for example where outreach to
new reception facilities and structures are needed or where the
involvement of cultural mediators/interpreters could help.
4. Treatment of perpetrators: 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.
5. National coordinating frameworks or action plans for violence against children (supporting Member States and other actors): the
aim is to support Member States in developing and implementing national
coordinating frameworks to eliminate all forms of violence against
children.
