Furthermore, the project will create an integrated model for prevention, reporting and support for victims of online violence via a web platform and will provide support services to victims in the form of free legal and psychological counseling. During the implementation of the project, a national campaign will be carried out to raise awareness of the under-recognized problem of online violence and to influence the suppression of its occurrence in society.
