The final newsletter of the European CEPOV project is now online
As the CEPOV project nears completion, we are pleased to share the latest developments, reflections, and resources produced over the course of the project. Addressing the gap in multidisciplinary cooperation to enhance the protection of victims’rights (CEPOV) was implemented from September 2024 until June 2026, with the financial support of the Justice Programme – European Commission, by Association Pro Refugiu (Romania), University of Bucharest (Faculty of Law), Italian Coalition for Civil Liberties and Rights, University Roma Tre (Italy) Solwodi Germany and Scandinavian Human Rights Lawyers (Sweden).
On 22 May 2026, we organized the final conference attended by professionals from institutions and organizations from Sweden, Italy, Germany and Romania. The conference was organized in a hybrid format, with participants attending in-person in Uppsala (Sweden) and online participants. The conference was a multidisciplinary event that brought together professionals from legal, social and other adjacent fields (lawyers, judges, police officers, social workers, psychologists, academia, NGOs).
The conference offered a space to present the project achievements and to debate about challenges and solutions to overstep them in order to grant an appropriate access to legal assistance and other support services to victims of crime. Throughout the project’s implementation, we have focused to ensure that our work is visible, clearly understood, and accessible to the target groups. In addition to organizing events in all countries (trainings, round tables), producing publications (national reports assessing legal aid for victims of crime; roadmap for enhancing
multidisciplinary cooperation in terms of identification, referral, assistance and protection for victims of crime), social media represented an effective tool for the raising awareness campaign about victims of crime. Details about the project CEPOV are available also on partners’ websites.
