Summary
Domestic violence keeps on being a persistent crime throughout Europe but the number of cases that are effectively reported to Police Authorities is very low. One of the causes is the limited protection offered to victims, fear, reluctance of neighbours to intervene by informing the Police Authorities, lack of awareness whom to turn to, which mechanisms exist, etc.
Proposals are expected to address one of the following options:
- Option A: Domestic violence
- Option B: Sexual violence
Detailed Call Description
There is an increased need to be performed in a lawful and ethical manner while protecting fundamental rights, such as privacy and protection of personal data, are as follows. Firstly, building on the previous works or projects funded under the Rights, Equality and Citizenship Programme, as well as improving current European approaches to fight domestic and sexual violence (prevent, locate, report , collect evidence) using innovative technological solutions, such as by enriching existing risk analysis tools with real-time data obtained through technological means, that will reduce both the amount of human resources to be committed and the response time.
Also, there is a clear need for innovation regarding further developments and improvements of automated, interactive tools such as chatbots that would help and stimulate victims to report cases of domestic abuse and/or sexual violence to the police.
Activities are needed to develop innovative technological solutions aimed at finding the source of these videos, identifying offenders, and finding victims.
Social innovation is recommended.
