Orange the World: End Violence Against Women Now 2021
Since 2019, UNODC
has been implementing a Global Programme on Strengthening Crime
Prevention and Criminal Justice Responses to Violence against Women,
providing specific solutions that complement existing joint UN
programmes and country-based projects. Its aim is to enable women who
experience violence to rely on available, accessible and quality crime
prevention and criminal justice responses in line with international
standards and norms. This is achieved through 3 lines on
interventions:
Developing the evidence base on criminal justice responses to
violence against women through global research and national data
collection and analysis;
Aligning national criminal legislation and policy frameworks on violence against women with international standards; and
Developing the capacity of criminal
justice systems respond more promptly and effectively to violence
against women and provide essential services to victims and survivors.
