Council of Europe’s expert group on violence against women visits Romania

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 Romania from 5 to 9 July 2021. This visit is one of the steps in the procedure to monitor the implementation by Romania 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: Ministry of Labour and Social Protection (including the National Agency on Equal Opportunities), Ministry of Justice, Public Ministry, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education and Research, Ministry of Internal Affairs and from the General Inspectorate for Immigration, as well as with judges of the civil and criminal courts. In addition, the GREVIO delegation will meet with representatives of non-governmental organisations and lawyers 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 2022.
