Promoting the right of protection of women through the application of the EC Directive 2011/99/EU and the European Protection Order
Take part to our final conference
On 21 January 2022, we will held the project final conference in Rome (and online) to present the main results and lessons we have achieved.
Join us if you want to develop a constructive debate about protection mechanisms for gender-based violence victims in Europe!
The European Protection Order
The European Protection Order was introduced by EC Directive 2011/99/EU to allow judicial protection orders issued in criminal proceedings in one Member State to be applied in another Member State.
The directive introduces measures aimed at creating a specific common area of security and justice without internal borders, strengthening the protection measures already obtained by victims of crime. The institution of the European Protection Order, in fact, is based on judicial cooperation in criminal matters as well as on the mutual recognition of judgments and judicial decisions, as sanctioned by the Treaty on the functioning of the European Union.
Highlighted problems
Lack of information provided to the protected person.
It was found that this information is not adequately provided to the victims due to a partial or complete lack of knowledge of this tool by the interested parties.
Lack of knowledge and information from legal professionals and CSOs and NGOs working with vulnerable groups.
It is necessary to increase these trainings and awareness-raising activities and involve not only legal professionals (lawyers in particular) but also NGOs and other entities working with these vulnerable groups.

The project aims to contribute to a better and coherent application of the EC Directive 2011/99/EU and to promote the use of the European Protection Order
