CEPOL hosted OSCE training on Appropriate and Effective Responses to Gender-based Violence

CEPOL hosted OSCE's National Specialised Training and Workshop on Appropriate and Effective Responses to Gender-based Violence.

The training is part of the Effective Criminal Justice Strategies and Practices to Combat Gender-based Violence in Eastern Europe Project, which addresses all criminal justice system actors (police, prosecutors and judges) at all levels (senior management, mid-level management and first responders) who are involved in combating gender-based violence in Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania. It also addresses civil society organisations, social workers and academia. The project is co-funded by the European Union’s Rights, Equality and Citizenship Programme (2014-2020) and Austria.

During the week long training, Hungarian law enforcement officers deepened their knowlegde on:

• Gender-based Violence as a social phenomenon
• International Approach and Legal Basis
• National legal environment
• Professional and Judicial Experience
• Causes and Factors of Gender-based Violence
• Victimology and Crisis Development
• Victim Approach; Secondary Victimization and Re-victimization
• Prevention, Protection and Support
• The Social Support System
• Interview Techniques
• Communication Skills adapted for Victims, Witnesses and Suspects

CEPOL and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) concluded a Working Arrangement in 2017 to strengthen cooperation between the two entitities to mutually support each other in terms of training for law enforcement and capacity building.
