| Summary: | Programs for perpetrators of gender-based violence, which are implemented in
an integrated manner with victim support services, with continuous
monitoring and risk management, form the basis of comprehensive protection
and support for victims of gender-based violence in Serbia. In the period
from 2011. to 2021. these programs were implemented predominantly within the
centres for social work, without established professional, technical and
financial stability. This paper aims to present the survey results on the
current situation in the implementation of the program for perpetrators of
intimate partner violence (IPV) in Serbia in 2021. Research aimed to
identify whether and to what extent the current programs for perpetrators of
IPV in Serbia were implemented following defined standards of work, to
determine possible shortcomings, to formulate recommendations for their
improvement, and to improve the sustainability of the program’s
implementation. Experts from the National Network OPNA conducted the survey
on a sample of organisations that implemented programs with perpetrators and
organisations that provide support for victims of violence. Findings show
that most programs are not implemented following the defined standards.
Therefore, harmonisation of the implementation of the programs with the
standards is a change that must be introduced in order to make the
protection of victims as effective as possible. |
