Women’s programme organises meeting on gender-based violence

The EU-funded regional programme Enhancing Equality between Men and Women in the EuroMed Region is organising a regional meeting on gender-based violence in Tunis from 20 to 23 April.
A press release from the programme said the meeting – on ‘Gender-based violence (GBV) research: Concepts, data, methodology and tools’ – would bring together participants representing producers and users of data on GBV and programme implementers, as well as international and regional stakeholders, representatives of ministries and national women’s machineries, civil society organisations and the media.

The meeting aims at assessing methods used in GBV research, and suggesting technical assistance to build consensus on a common definition and coherent conceptual framework to be tested in three pilot surveys in the Euromed region. It also aims at drafting recommendations for combating the causes of GBV.

Enhancing Equality between Men and Women in the Euromed Region – launched in May 2008 – seeks to achieve gender equality, combat violence against women, improve women’s image in the media, and pursue the Istanbul process by consolidating women’s role in society.
