HUDOC (HUman rights DOCumentation) is a database set up by the European Court of Human Rights to give public access to the Court's case law and to legal and information documents.

The Group of Experts on Action to Combat Violence against Women and Domestic Violence (GREVIO), like other Council of Europe entities, wanted to give more visibility to its work and to make key documents available to a large public to help them in their research.

At present, the HUDOC-GREVIO database provides access to the following documents:

• Evaluation reports
  
• Government comments on the evaluation reports
• GREVIO General Recommendations
   

It is also accessible via the HUDOC website of the Court.

In relation to evaluation reports, an advanced search can be launched through filters and/or keywords.

Filters allow to search by Parties, working language (English or French), evaluation cycle, date of adoption and date of publication of documents, emerging trends and GREVIO findings (invites, encourages, strongly encourages, urges).

Keywords have been categorised by  article numbers/provisions, recurring themes, types of violence and women exposed.
