Funded by the European Comission and co-funded by the Rights, Equality and Citizenship Programme of the European Comission, the FEM_UnitED partnership, coordinated by the Mediterranean Institute of Gender Studies (Cyprus), gathered entities from five EU countries: Malta, Cyprus, Germany, Portugal and Spain. The project aimed for improve systems-wide responses to IPV/DV by creating an evidence base for raised public awareness and the fostering of multi-disciplinary cooperation and capacity building, adopting a gender-specific victim-centred approach. 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.
