In other words, FEM_UnitED is about creating evidence for collaborative policy change to prevent femicide. The FEM_UnitED team comprises of advisory board members and country focal points of the European Observatory of Femicide (EOF), having CIEG's research Maria José Magalhães as a member of the research team.
Funded by the CERV program of the European Commission, the project aims to provide an evidence-based analysis of how different types of victim support services can collaborate in responding to the needs of victims of gender-based violence.
