BaBe Association organized a three-day intersectoral training on the topic of preventing and combating violence against women in Vinkovci, February 5th, 6th and 7th.
It is the third multi-day multi-sector training for experts from the police, judiciary, health, education and social services and representatives of civil society organizations dealing with the mentioned topic.
The trainings were held within the framework of the project ‘VIVIEN – VIctim VIolence Educational Network, An educational project to improve the ability to assist women victims of violence’(ref. cod. number 810444), which is financed from the Rights, Equality and Citizenship program of the European Union.
After Basic training (September 2019) and Middle training (November 2019), last week, Advanced multi-sector training, is a continuation of project activities started last year. More precisely, on Wednesday, February 5th, the first part of the training was actually a continuation of the Intermediate Training from November 2019, while the second part of that day and the entire Thursday and Friday as a whole constituted the Advanced Multisectoral Training.
Srednji multisektorski trening obrađivao je teme ‘Žene starije životne dobi žrtve nasilja’ i ‘Žene s invaliditetom žrtve nasilja’.
Napredni multisektorski trening u srijedu započeo je prezentacijom rezultata istraživanja provedenog u okviru projekta ‘VIVIEN’. Istraživanje je nastojalo odgovoriti na pitanja:
– Koliko su profesionalci u Hrvatskoj, Italiji, Finskoj i Bugarskoj senzibilizirani za rad sa ženama žrtvama nasilja;
– Korespondira li razina dodatnog obrazovanja stručnjaka/inja s empatijom koju pokazuju u radu sa ženama žrtvama nasilja;
– Kakva su mišljenja i stavovi stručnjaka/inja iz sustava o rodno uvjetovanom nasilju.
After the theoretical part, there was an examination of the present susceptibility to stereotypes and prejudices, measuring empathy and assertive approach towards women victims of violence.

On Thursday, the participants were introduced to the goals and process of creating a safety plan for women victims of violence. Through the psychological workshop, they had the opportunity to experience different perspectives when it comes to reporting violence. After that, the afternoon session was based on deepening interdepartmental cooperation and building own capacities for suppression and prevention of violence against women through cooperation.
Trećeg dana treninga sudionici/e su sudjelovali u interaktivnoj radionici ‘Protokol o postupanju u slučaju nasilja u obitelji: provedba po pojedinim ustanovama – uloge i zadaće’, dok se popodnevna sesija bavila temama: ‘Rad i uloga skloništa za žrtve obiteljskog nasilja, problemi s kojim se suočavaju žene nakon izlaska iz zlostavljačke situacije’ i ‘Umanjivanje sekundarne viktimizacije žrtava obiteljskog nasilja kroz međusektorsku suradnju’.
Around 25 people attended the trainings each day, most of whom had also attended the previous two multi-day trainings.
The Vukovar-Srijem County has ceded the premises of the Great County Hall in Vinkovci to the BaBe Association for the purpose of holding educational events.
