The MARIPOSA project – Monitoring, Analysis and Evaluation of Interventions to Prevent and Combat Violence against Women in Sardinia – is being carried out under the Operational Agreement between the Autonomous Region of Sardinia (RAS) and the National Research Council – Institute for Research on Population and Social Policies (CNR-IRPPS).

The project aims to integrate the information framework on measures to prevent and combat violence against women implemented across Sardinia through the following research activities:

• To describe, through primary and secondary research, the prevalence of male violence against women in Sardinia and the characteristics of the services dedicated to its prevention and combating, with particular reference to Anti-Violence Centres and Perpetrator programmes;

• To understand, through qualitative analysis, the functioning of the regional anti-violence system, with a focus on operational practices and the network relationships established at local level between the various stakeholders involved;
• To evaluate, through evaluative research, regional policies for the prevention and combating of male violence against women.
