This project will involve an exchange of academic and practitioners’ experiences and best practices between the researchers, a number of relevant Belgian institutions, and Cuban public and non-governmental stakeholders. The treatment of gendered violence and violence against children in Cuba presents methodological and normative deficiencies despite an existing legal foundation, and lacks an integrated approach; this projects thus aims to address potential practices, methodologies and strategies to improve protection mechanisms and care protocols for women and children, for the purpose of formulating proposals for the Cuban context.
