Council of Europe: Quality guidelines for shelters for victims of Violence against Women and Domestic Violence

Enhancing services for victims in Kosovo*

In the framework of the Council of Europe project „Reinforcing the fight against violence against women and domestic violence in Kosovo*“, seven project publications were made available as well as translated to focus on strengthening the capacities of local institutions to counter violence against women and domestic violence. More information on the CoE website: Reinforcing the fight against violence against women and domestic violence in Kosovo* (Phase II), 2019 -2021 (coe.int)

The quality guidelines for women’s shelters contain crucial information on the situation in Kosovo. The Guidelines are based on the Istanbul Convention and are thus also relevant for women’s shelters and women’s specialist support services in other countries. The guidelines are available in English, Albanian and Serbian.
