A delegation of the Council of Europe's Group of Experts on Action against Violence against Women and Domestic Violence (GREVIO) will carry out an evaluation visit to Andorra from 12 to 13 February 2020. This visit is one of the steps in the procedure to monitor the implementation by Andorra of the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence (Istanbul Convention).

The Istanbul Convention is based on the understanding that states must fully address gender-based violence in all its forms and take measures to prevent such violence, protect the victims and prosecute the perpetrators.

Meetings will be held with representatives from different Ministries: Equality Policy Unit, Women's Comprehensive Care Service, Primary Care Service, Specialised Child Welfare Service, Public Prosecutor's Office and Magistrates of the Civil and Criminal Courts and the Child Protection Court, Assistance and Mediation Service, Immigration Department and the Andorran Police Force. In addition, the GREVIO delegation will meet with representatives of civil society and NGOs working in the area of violence against women, including those with a specific focus on migrant women.

GREVIO plans to publish its evaluation report during 2021.
