In 2020, the OSCE Gender Issues Programme conducted a series of sub-regional expert meetings1 in order to take stock of progress towards fulfilment of OSCE commitments on preventing and combating violence against women and girls (VAWG)2. The meetings focused on two central themes: (1) the justice system response to VAWG and (2) services and support provided to survivors of violence. The aim of each meeting was to exchange information and to identify areas of progress as well as persistent challenges. The experts’ views and recommendations will ultimately contribute to shaping initiatives within the OSCE’s multi-year WIN- Women and Men Innovating and Networking for Gender Equality programme and also to overall organizational strategic planning to address the elimination of VAWG across the OSCE region.
