It is very important and necessary to continuously work on the establishment of safe house mechanisms throughout the region, and that is why discussions like this one, which is being conducted by NGO Atina within the project “Improving the safety of women and girls by increasing the performance of safe houses for victims of gender-based violence and domestic violence”, are very important.

Networking, mutual communication, and improving the capacity of safe houses are crucial for the support and empowerment of all women victims of violence, and the institution of the Commissioner is always there to provide the necessary support, especially when it comes to initiatives like this that can provide a more effective response to the problems of gender-based violence, said Commissioner Brankica Janković.
