SUMMARY:The Resilience of Older Persons in a Changing World\, Highlighting the Contributions of Older Women
DESCRIPTION:The New York commemoration of the United Nations International Day of Older Persons 2022 will highlight “The Resilience and Contributions of Older Women” in successfully navigating today’s myriad of global challenges. \nThe past three years have brought profound upheaval in the worlds’ health\, socioeconomic\, and environmental sectors\, with pandemic and climate related impacts experienced globally. These effects continue to be deeply significant\, particularly for many older women who bear the burden of cumulative disadvantage. Recognition of the vital contributions of older women and inclusion of their voices\, perspectives and needs is critical to creating policies responsive to local\, national\, and global challenges and catastrophes. \nUNIDOP 2022 is a call to action and opportunity\, with globally representative older women\, parliamentarians\, and UN representatives offering multi-stakeholder dialogue on the resilience of living through and responding to climate disaster\, conflict\, or pandemic\, experiencing and managing the physical and emotional disruption to losses of family\, income\, and social connectedness. Panels will highlight relevant actions that include efforts toward inclusion of older persons\, protection of their human rights\, and contributions to sustainable development. The necessity of ongoing data collection inclusive of older persons and disaggregated by gender and age will be incorporated throughout. \nObjectives:\n➢ To highlight the resilience of older women in the face of environmental\, social\, economic and lifelong inequalities \n➢ To raise awareness of the importance of improved world-wide data collection\, disaggregated by age and gender \n➢ To call on member states\, UN entities\, UN Women\, and civil society to include older women in the center of all policies\, ensuring gender equality as described in the Secretary-General’s report\, Our Common Agenda \n  \nYou can follow the event live on the UN Web TV.

SUMMARY:FYDO Final Project Conference
DESCRIPTION:Victim Support Europe and partners are proud to announce the final FYDO conference\, that will take place on 18 October 2022\, in Brussels.  \nSince the beginning of 2021\, Victim Support Europe (BE)\, Dog4Life (IT)\, Viaduq67 (FR)\, Handi’Chiens (FR)\, Canisha (BE)\, Hachiko (BE) and the University College Cork (IE)\, have led a unique project funded by the European Justice Programme\, which aims to train and place justice assistance dogs to work with vulnerable victims of crime on their journey to justice: Facility Dogs in Europe (FYDO). \nThe FYDO project has a special significance in the context of the current revision of the EU’s Victims’ Rights Directive. By promoting the innovative use of facility dogs\, the FYDO project encourages the use of justice assistance dogs across all EU Member States\, so that every victim feels supported and empowered to participate in the justice process\, to take up their legal rights\, recover from victimisation and to regain their self-respect. \nTo date\, six dogs have been placed to support victims in various settings (two in Belgium\, three in Italy and one in France) and 15 handlers have been trained to work with them. Dogs and their humans work with victims of crime across the criminal justice and support settings. The project has developed a unique European facility dog training programme that ensures highly trained dogs can support vulnerable victims in their participation to criminal proceedings\, as well as facilitate their recovery from the trauma of crime. \nThe project is just a first step towards partners’ long-term vision to ensure that all victims that need canine support can benefit from it. We also want to ensure FYDO dogs have the right to access any location where their support is needed\, including courts\, prosecutors’ offices or other premises. \nAfter almost two years of implementation\, at the final conference\, partners will showcase FYDO’s objectives and achievements – we will reflect on successes and challenges with the participation of VSE\, partners – and our FYDO dogs and their handlers. \nIf you would like to hear about the successes of the previous two years\, hear testimonials from victims\, members of the judiciary\, our partners and supporters\, please save the date – 18 October 2022\, and plan to join us. \nFurther conference details will be announced soon\, register now by clicking here. \nWe look forward to seeing you in Brussels this October!

SUMMARY:CEP General Assembly followed by a Conference on Human Rights and Ethics in Probation
DESCRIPTION:CEP in cooperation with the Croatian Ministry of Justice kindly invites all probation professionals and practitioners to participate in the autumn conference in Dubrovnik that will cover the topics that have recently been on the agenda of probation organizations across Europe. Probation organisations have been in a different phase of development and the specifics that probation officers must deal with vary from country to country. The core business – providing guidance\, assistance\, support and motivation to the client\, protecting society and victims from any harm – remains the same. Variety of other specifics the probation officers deal with the clients on a daily basis differs. Europe is large and issues addressed in South Europe do not necessarily have to be the same as the ones in North\, Central and Eastern Europe at certain moment. \nKey questions we would like to raise at the conference are: \n\nHuman rights\, ethics and its reflection in probation work\nGender stereotypes in probation: fair chances and equal opportunities\nPsychological support in probation\nDiversity management: developing multicultural competencies in probation

SUMMARY:Building on the Domestic Abuse Act to Better Protect and Support Victims and Survivors
DESCRIPTION:A year on from the passing of the 2021 Act\, the Domestic Abuse Commissioner\, Nicole Jacobs\, recognised that “there’s far more to be done to support victims\, to tackle the causes of domestic abuse and hold perpetrators to account”\, noting that “there needs to be far more focus on prevention\, early intervention and a more co-ordinated community response.” The Commissioner proposes that to better support victims of domestic abuse\, the Victims Bill\, presented to Parliament in May 2022\, “provides the perfect opportunity to ensure that community-based services get the recognition and funding they need to plug some of the gaps which were left unfilled in the Domestic Abuse Act”\, including in relation to “advocacy\, safety planning\, therapeutic support and counselling\, support for children\, and work with perpetrators to change their behaviour.” The Commissioner also calls on the government to provide £18.7m over three years to ensure that victims without recourse to public funds can access support\, accommodation and subsistence. \nThis symposium will look at the legacy of the pandemic on the incidence\, nature and victims of domestic abuse\, and discuss the impact of the Domestic Abuse Act and how the Act can best be implemented by key stakeholders. \nProgramme\n\n\nPlan and implement effective intervention strategies to identify and support victims early\nEvaluate the extent to which the passing of the Domestic Abuse Act 2021 has adequately addressed the complex and urgent needs of domestic abuse survivors\nExamine how the Victims Bill can be shaped to ensure better support for victims of domestic abuse\nExplore the impact of the pandemic on levels of domestic abuse\nAddress gaps in specialist training for police forces on how to respond to domestic violence cases\nDiscuss the changing profile of abusers and what practical and policy changes should be considered\nUnderstand what the Domestic Abuse Act means for local authorities and how they can effectively meet their statutory duty to deliver a strategy\nExamine ways to address the fundamental drivers of domestic violence\nAnalyse the inequalities which are present in current and proposed efforts to address domestic abuse\, particularly with regard to migrant women\, economically vulnerable women\, and women from minority\, marginalised or disadvantaged communities or backgrounds\, or those with protected characteristics\nDiscuss collaborative and partnership opportunities for various agencies and departments\, including the role of pharmacies\nScrutinise the current legal remedies which are in place to protect the abused and punish the abuser and their efficacy in practice\nReview the ways in which domestic abuse has changed in recent years\, considering the effect of the internet\, the increasing recognition of economic abuse\, and the impact of domestic violence upon children\nDevelop effective strategies for protecting and supporting survivors of domestic abuse\, at national\, regional and local levels
