The conference is part of the international project "Ways of Implementing the EU Directives on Violence

Commission. Research team in Ljubljana works on the analysis of changes in legislation concerned with

2006. The research is based on in-depth and detailed questionnaire, answered by 8 partner organizations
for Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and
Slovenia. One of the main goals is to detect good practices and prepare recommendations for the
improvement of the implementation of the EU policy against violence.

researchers, policymakers, NGO activists, and other experts working in the fields of domestic violence,
sexual violence, trafficking in persons, sexual harassment and other forms of violence against
women, children and youth from the European Union, EU candidate countries and countries included in
