A comparative report in Greece, Italy, Germany and Spain

The purpose of the present comparative report is to enhance EU member states’ policies against Gender Based Violence (GBV) by underlining the magnitude of the phenomenon across the EU and highlighting the complexity of the issues that have arisen within the refugee context especially in light of the increased refugee and migrant flows and the ensuing state of emergency.

In line with the project proposal, the cross-country situation and capacity analysis in GBV aims to identify gaps and challenges but also good practices, as well as develop recommendations for a more comprehensive and better equipped prevention- and response strategy towards GBV, including at the level of individual case management.

Improved and shared cross-country knowledge on GBV working methods and mechanisms is expected to contribute towards eliminating GBV at a European-wide level.

The primary question to address when comparing is why compare.
