International Seminar on the Problems of Domestic Violence and Gender-Based Violence
 
Although throughout the last decade the Bulgarian authorities have adopted a number of acts and subsidiary legislation, as well as improved the existing ones, related to domestic and gender-based violence (DGBV), the country still has a long way to go to bring its legislation and practices in full compliance with EU and Council of Europe standards.

Partners-Bulgaria Foundation organises an international seminar in partnership with Human Rights Academy, Norway and the Center for the Study of Democracy. The topic of the seminar is The problem of domestic violence and gender-based violence in the context of protection of human rights. Good practices in support of victims of violence in Norway.

The NGO sector will be represented by organisations running crisis centers providing services to victims of violence as well as working in the field of protection of rights of victims and human rights in general.

The scale of the problem of domestic and gender-based violence and the need to improve the mechanism for support victims will be among the main topics of the seminar. Good practices for addressing the problem in Norway will be presented.

Key presenters and speakers at the seminar will be Ms Lillian Hjorth from the Human Rights Academy, Norway and Dr Solveig Bergman from the Norwegian Centre for Violence and Traumatic Stress Studies.
