byСтаница ПЕТ

On 22nd of November 2024, Hristina Zdraveska – lawyer from our organization attended the first ever meeting of the Network of specialised Lawyers and NGOs assisting victims of violence against women in Strasbourg, France. The Council of Europe Violence against Women Division brought together an initial set of members of this new network for a day of knowledge sharing and networking.

With lawyers and NGOs assisting victims from 38 member states of the Council of Europe attending, the meeting marked the beginning of enhanced collaboration and sharing of legal strategies on cases of violence against women among lawyers in Europe. The sessions covered key themes, including the growing jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights on cases of domestic violence and rape, the strategic role of the Istanbul Convention in litigation, and case studies illustrating effective legal approaches.

The aim of the Network is to facilitate regular exchanges across lawyers from all Council of Europe member states and to serve as a knowledge-sharing platform for strategic litigation on violence against women. Through more and innovative caselaw, both at national and European level, it will enhance implementation of the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence (Istanbul Convention) and the European Convention of Human Rights. The Network is open to practicing lawyers specialised in assisting women victims of violence and those legally representing women and girls through specialist support organisations.
