The SURF and SOUND project – Support, Unite, Respond, Fight to Stop Online violence – run by B.a.B.e. – aims to reduce the incidence of online violence against women in society.
By working to increase the knowledge and capacity of experts and important stakeholders in society, such as media workers, the project will strengthen the system's capacities and create recommendations for improving public policies in the Republic of Croatia and a protocol for dealing with cases of online violence.
As part of the project, the NEON platform was also created – an integrated model for the prevention and reporting of online violence and for supporting its victims through free legal and psychological counselling.
During the implementation of the project, a national campaign will be conducted with the aim of raising awareness among citizens about the insufficiently recognized problem of online violence in order to influence the suppression of its occurrence in society.
