The Baseline Policy Framework for Addressing Gender-Based Violence is designed as a practical resource for higher education and research institutions, providing clear provisions and guidance on how to prevent, address, and respond to gender-based violence. It covers definitions, institutional commitments, reporting and investigation procedures, protection measures, support services, training, and monitoring. Importantly, it draws on the 7P model (prevalence, prevention, protection, prosecution, provision, policies, partnerships) to ensure a holistic and structural approach.
This framework is work in progress, currently being tested by the members of the GenderSAFE CoP, and is to be further refined and expanded. If you would like to contribute to the final version by providing feedback or comments on the text, please contact us at f……@gendersafe.eu.
By opening this draft, GenderSAFE aims to encourage dialogue and collective ownership of policies that ensure safe, inclusive and respectful environments for all members of higher education and research communities.
