The expected results
In the TACTICS project, short and medium term results will be obtained. These results include research and the formation of working groups in seven countries. The aim is to improve responses to domestic violence.
Among the expected changes will be collaborative agreements between the police, victim support organizations and other agencies. These agreements will concern training, risk assessment, monitoring and data sharing.
Working methods will be improved. The rules will be stricter.
Policies and practices will be developed to train police on violence against women. New digital strategies and tools will facilitate communication and data analysis.
In the long term, the actions of TACTICS will contribute to changing practices within the police and other actors. The use of data and technology will help combat domestic and violence against women. This will reduce risks and instances of violence, particularly among vulnerable populations.
This approach will serve as inspiration for other communities seeking similar results.
The beneficiaries of TACTICS are the police, the victims‘ caregivers, the perpetrators of domestic violence and the victims themselves. Especially victims with special needs. The approach will help strengthen collaboration, improve services and reduce victim blaming. Regular review of results ensures their contribution to the promotion of gender equality, integration and non-discrimination.
