Eliminating gender-based violence
Support to survivors of gender-based violence in conflict
Together with the Women Against Violence Europe (WAVE) Network, the WIN Project developed a Toolkit for service providers on gender-based violence in conflict.
Enabling networking of women’s organizations
The WIN Project brings together and promotes regular exchange of experience between women’s organizations that support survivors of gender-based violence against women and girls from Central Asia, Eastern Europe, South-Caucasus and South-Eastern Europe.
Strengthening the police and justice sector responses to gender-based violence
As law enforcement actors are often the first point of contact for survivors of gender-based violence, the WIN Project develops and implements context-specific training modules that promote survivor-centered and trauma informed work with survivors, in line with international standards.
16 days of activism against gender-based violence
As part of the OSCE’s #16days campaign, the WIN Project spoke to four women leaders, who represent the authors behind the new WAVE Network Toolkit on preventing and responding to gender-based violence during the war and in post-war settings.
This Compendium of Resources is a list of materials that were used in the preparation of regional briefings for sub-meetings conducted by the OSCE Gender Issues Programme in 2020. Additional materials that were suggested by experts who participated in the meetings are also included.
Based on the expertise of women’s organizations, this toolkit not only presents the harm and challenges posed by conflicts but also documents promising first-hand practices with concrete examples from four WAVE Network members, including their initiatives and recommendations as women’s organizations who experience and have experienced war.

Violence against women and girls is a known phenomenon, but its digital form is often neglected or unrecognized. Behind every seemingly trivial online action — consent, mute or delete — there could be a violent reaction. It is essential that this be recognized and addressed. It is urgent to “restart” the conversation about online violence and update the digital space so that it is a safe space for all including women and girls.
