Shadow report to the GREVIO Committee

Women NGOs Women’s Rights Center, Women’s Safe House, SOS Hotline Nikšić and SOS Hotline Podgorica submitted a shadow report to the GREVIO Committee on implementation of the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence in Montenegro. In report preparation NGOs relied on their personal experience in providing support to women and children victims of family violence as well as on information collected during the regular monitoring of women and children during the procedures led before Montenegrin institutions after reporting violence.

We hope that this report will show an overall situation in Montenegro when it comes to violence against women and family violence and that GREVIO evaluation will give clear and concrete guidelines which will help improve Montenegrin institutional response regarding protection and support to victims as well as strengthen responsibilities of perpetrators of violence.

Full shadow report is available on Women’s Rights Center’s website.
