მარიამ, გიგზავნით ფონდსა და UNFPAს შორის თანამშრომლობის მოკლე აღწერას.
Responding to the crucial need of strengthening the National Referral Mechanism on Domestic Violence through enhancing health care system response to Violence Against Women and Domestic Violence, UNFPA continues cooperation with the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Social Affairs of Georgia (MoLHSA) and the State Fund for the Protection and Assistance of the (Statutory) Victims of Human Trafficking (AtipFund). In 2016, with technical assistance from UNFPA, MoLHSA and State Fund elaborated the Standard Operational Procedures (SOPs) for the healthcare response to Violence Against Women /Domestic Violence and are currently in process of preparing relevant regulatory framework for the effective implementation of the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), which is aligned with the updated version of the National Referral Mechanism document (2016), expected to be approved in 2017.
In 2017, SOPs will be piloted in the 3 selected medical facilities in Kakheti region of Georgia. The results of the pilot will be analyzed for refining the overall mechanism of healthcare response to VAW/DV, if necessary, and relevant recommendations will be drawn for the replication of the pilot.
Moreover, in the reporting period special emphasis will be made on the advocacy efforts in response to the international commitments assumed by the country in relation to combating all forms of violence against women. Therefore, meetings/conferences/workshops will be arranged, as well as necessary legislative amendments will be worked out for the effective functioning of the regulatory mechanism.
