The project titled “Evaluation of Impact Analysis of Projects and Practices to Prevent/Reduce Domestic Violence Conducted within the Scope of Combating Domestic Violence against Women with GAP Analysis Method” in which Our University’s Political Science and Public Administration Department Member Assoc. Prof. Safa KOÇOĞLU involved as a researcher, was implemented with the support of TUBITAK 1001 Projects. The project will be carried out by Middle East Technical University Sociology Department Member Prof. F. Umut BEŞPINAR.
The aim of the project was determined as the evaluation of the National Action Plans developed in our country on Combating Domestic Violence against Women since 2007 and the activities determined in these plans. The areas for improvement in the Action Plans were determined as “Making legislative arrangements for gender equality, raising awareness and mentality transformation, providing protective services and women’s empowerment who are victims of violence, organizing and implementing inclusive health services, development of inter-institutional cooperation and politics“.
The project team aims to determine the working and non-operational aspects of these studies by making a documented analysis of the projects, programs and practices aimed at preventing/reducing domestic violence against women carried out within the framework of these areas for improvement, their reflections on the field and the results they cause. In this framework, they will contribute to develop evidence-based policy recommendations with impact analyzes on the basis of “input-process-output”.
The project team stated that the social contribution of the study will be high. With the project carried out, the programs developed and implemented for women who have experienced domestic violence will be analyzed and evaluated in concrete conditions, gaps between the needs of women and the services provided will be determined, and effective, preventive and realistic implementation and policy recommendations will be presented in the light of this evaluation.
We congratulate our faculty member and wish her continued success.
