A project implemented by the Center of Women’s Rights in Bosnia and Herzegovina funded by the UN Trust Fund is working to improve protection mechanisms for survivors of intimate partner violence. The grantee worked to create alliances with relevant professionals; adapting during COVID-19 to conduct communication and preparations by telephone and email. The Center of Women’s Rights organized seminars for judges and prosecutors, including obtaining the necessary approvals, disseminating plans and worked to organize seminars with participants in the Multisectoral Working Group and the Expert Group. This led to an important achievement: for the first time since the establishment of the Judicial and Prosecutorial Training Centre, the seminar on changing attitudes and perceptions of judges and prosecutors was included in the regular Annual Training Programme of Judges and Prosecutors. In addition, the Center drafted and submitted a proposed amendment to the law on protection from domestic violence.
