The A.S.A.P. project aimed to develop and put into action a new approach to work with both victims and perpetrators of gender-based violence. The overall goal was to build a strong prevention network, working towards a more effective and lasting strategy to address gender-based violence.
"The ASAP Project has successfully contributed to a systematic and comprehensive approach to violence prevention by developing methods and tools that bridges work with victims of gender-based violence with work that involves perpetrators of such violence. The Project is encouraged to ensure continued implementation and maintenance and to support further dissemination of the project’s outcomes and tools." - European Commission evaluation feedback
With the A.S.A.P. project, project partners gained an overview of victim support services and perpetrator programmes in the EU, with a focus on Bulgaria, Croatia, Italy and their legal contexts. Based on this research, project partners created a collaborative model for addressing domestic violence. This involved developing and putting into practice protocols to facilitate cooperation between organisations assisting victims and those dealing with perpetrators. Additionally, they introduced the IMPACT Outcome Measurement Toolkit to assess the quality of their efforts and standardised risk assessment measures.
