A portal with gender-based violence resources, collected in Europe in the last twenty years: A pilot project

Five documentation centres and libraries specialising in women and gender issues are joining efforts with the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE), to enable access to gender-based violence resources in EIGE’s Resource and Documentation Centre (RDC).

The project will put together and make available resources, collected for more than twenty years by the project partners in several languages. It will include books, research articles, reports, grey literature and other materials. The pilot project is a starting point towards EIGE’s RDC becoming a 'one-stop-shop' to search for information on gender-based violence. It will offer various EU institutions, authorities of the Member States, researchers, civil society organisations and others an access to gender-based violence-related information available in Europe.

All available resources on gender-based violence will be accessible from November 2012.
