We are pleased to announce that the University of Glasgow will be a partner in a new EC-funded project with the LLP Grundtvig Learning Partnership programme: Exploring The Rehabilitation Methods of The Women Exposed To Domestic Violence at European Level. This will be led overall by the Izmir Provincial Directorate of social Studies and Projects in Turkey and at Glasgow by Cradall Affiliate, Lynette Jordan.

Project Summary

A World Health Organisation (WHO) multi-country study found that between 15 and 71% of women reported experiencing domestic violence. As a result, they may suffer isolation, inability to work, lack of participation in regular activities and limited ability to care for themselves and their children. At this point of view; rehabilitation of these women is crucially important.

With the help of our the  project 'Explore-Rehabilitate' designed by the partner institutions from 10 European countries, it is intended to examine the different methods of rehabilitation for women at European level in order to determine how European countries deal with similar problems and what the benefits of rehabilitation on women are. 

In the first year of the project, all partners will examine the good practices about the rehabilitation of the women exposed to domestic violence in their own country. Then all partners will prepare reports and make a case study that describes the methods applied and how women are reintegrated into social life. In the second year of the project, every partner will choose and apply one of these good examples in their own context.
