More information about the treaty
The Istanbul Convention is not only a policy framework containing legally binding obligations on its state parties, but it is also source of guidance and inspiration for practitioners in the fields of justice, security, health, or social services, including those from civil society.
The Council of Europe has now launched a collection of papers on the Convention as a specific tool for the implementation of this ground-breaking treaty. Each of the existing and future papers in this collection is designed as an easy to use, ‘how to’ guide each dedicated to one specific article of the Convention. They follow a general structure that comprises a detailed description of the nature of the obligations contained in the respective article, good practice examples, and information on state-of-the-art research and resources for the implementation of the provisions therein.
The first three papers in this collection address the topic of preventing violence against women:
Preventing violence against women: Article 12 of the Istanbul Convention
Raising awareness of violence against women : Article 13 of the Istanbul Convention
Domestic and sexual violence perpetrator programmes: Article 16 of the Istanbul Convention
