VIVA Project at ECDV and ESPAnet

In September, the research group involved in the VIVA project (Evaluation and Analysis of interventions for the prevention and combating of violence against women) participated in important opportunities for discussion with the scientific community, sharing perspectives and results as a starting point for upcoming qualitative investigations on the empowerment of women victims of violence and on Centers for perpetrators of violence.

Two posters were presented at the European Conference on Domestic Violence (ECDV) in Reykjavik.

The first – Networking to prevent and combat male violence against women by Francesca Proia, Maria Dentale, Pietro Demurtas, Alice Mauri – presents data relating to the analysis of the Italian anti-violence system as a complex and diversified universe.

The second – Defining the effectiveness of perpetrator programs from a practice-based perspective by Pietro Demurtas and Caterina Peroni – shows some of the results of the recently completed survey on Centers for Male Perpetrators of Violence (CUAV).
