Road Map Third Regional Forum: Ending Violence against Women in the Western Balkans and Turkey “Integrated Policies, Inclusive Partnerships”

150 representatives from national governments, local and regional institutions and civil society from the Western Balkans and Turkey developed and adopted a road map which provides a framework to advance work with perpetrators in the region, leverage data through establishing femicide watches to prevent violence, promote social norms that favour equality, and make necessary amendments in laws, policies and budgets to provide fully funded, sustainable and high-quality services for survivors of violence. The road map lays out the tools, mechanisms and key steps necessary for progress in all four areas. It was collectively developed during the Third Regional Forum on Ending Violence against Women in the Western Balkans and Turkey: “Inclusive Partnerships, Integrated Policies” organized by UN Women on 1-2 December 2021, in partnership with the Council of Europe, the European Union, and under the auspices of the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
