The conference is part of the international project "Ways of Implementing the EU Directives on Violence against Women, Children and Youth: Good Practices and Recommendations" founded by the European Commission. An expert group in Ljubljana is preparing an analysis of changes in legislation concerned with violence against women, children and youth in 10 EU Member States in the time period from 1991 to 2006. The research is based on questionnaires answered by 8 partner organizations for Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia. The goal is to detect good practices and prepare recommendations for the improvement of the implementation of the EU policy against violence.

The conference will provide a platform for interdisciplinary debate for NGO activists, researchers, policymakers and other experts working in the fields of domestic violence, sexual violence, trafficking in persons, sexual harassment and other forms of violence against women, children and youth from the European Union, EU candidate countries and countries included in the European Neighbourhood Policy.
