The Ministry of Social Policies, Demography and Youth, with the support of UNFPA and the Embassy of the United Kingdom, has worked with a serious approach in recent years on the prevention and protection from gender-based violence against women and domestic violence. In addition to working on strategic documents, legal and sub-legal acts, work was also done on raising public awareness in accordance with the Strategic Plan for the Communication of Services on Gender-Based Violence and Domestic Violence, which the Ministry leads and implements through campaigns on this topic.
As part of the project activities with partners, there are also mentoring sessions for strategic communication of services for the prevention and protection from gender-based violence against women and domestic violence. So far, six mentoring sessions have been held, with the possibility of additional sessions, in accordance with needs.
Considering that many ministries are involved in the field of gender-based violence against women and domestic violence, as well as the importance of a multi-sectoral approach, the final sessions are organized with the participation of persons working in public relations from the relevant ministries - for internal affairs, justice, health and education.
