Gendering Human Rights Violations: The case of interpersonal violence: Final Report 2004-2007

Three years of project work are hardly enough to declare that a radical change has
taken place in the overall understanding of violence in interpersonal relationships.
However, it is fair to say that a new basis for conceptualising and using knowledge
on violence has been laid by this Coordination Action on Human Rights Violations
(CAHRV).
The final report of CAHRV details on the objectives, methodology and scope of the
project. But what is the value of this type of project for the European Union? How
does this project contribute to the overall policy objectives of the EU?
