ISEDA (Innovative Solutions to Eliminate Domestic Abuse) is a Horizon Europe project (2022–2025) aiming to combat and eliminate domestic violence by employing an enriched European approach, based on multi-sectoral expertise. The project will develop a chatbot and data platform, a serious game to train police authorities, as well as pilot perpetrator programs and awareness raising campaigns and education programs. The project aims to create a chatbot using empathetic language to guide victims on seeking help, providing information on various domestic violence types, prevention, detection, and investigation. An integrated data platform offers advice on gathering court-proof evidence and tracking domestic violence trends. Interactive learning for police focuses on enhancing skills to assess and respond to domestic violence situations. Awareness campaigns and education programs target the public and students, fostering awareness on breaking toxic gender stereotypes and promoting healthy relationships. Perpetrator programs offer a positive change, improving the quality of life for women, children, men, and their communities.
VIPROM — Victim Protection In Medicine Project Website
Domestic violence (DV) may have a serious impact on physical and psychological health as well as quality of life of victims. Those working in the medical sector often meet DV victims, but many do not feel informed sufficiently to identify or to support them in an adequate way. The goal of the EU project VIPROM is to provide sustainable, organisationally embedded, and institutionally recognised training tailored to the specific needs of various medical professionals from different medical fields. Partners from Austria, Germany, Greece, Italy and Sweden are part of this project. Train-the-trainer programs will be conducted in autumn 2024 so that the curricula and training materials developed in VIPROM can be implemented in pilot trainings with high quality. The coordinator of VIPROM is one of IMPROVE's German partners, Bettina Pfleiderer from the University of Münster (WWU). The project will run until February 2026.
