Programas Europeos de Intervención para Hombres que Ejercen Violencia de Género: Panorámica y Criterios de Calidad

Abstract

The first intervention programmes for men who perpetrate domestic violence started in Europe about 25 years ago. Until now, little information has been available about the different characteristics of these programmes in different countries of the European Union. The Daphne project “Work with perpetrators of domestic violence in Europe – WWP” had the objective of providing this information and to promote exchange and dialogue between European programmes. This article summarizes two of the project’s main outcomes: the results of a survey of 170 domestic violence intervention programmes from 19 European countries, and guidelines for the development of standards for these kinds of programmes.
