They highlight positive initiatives in preventing and combating all forms of violence against women and domestic violence at national level and provide suggestions and proposals to improve the situation of women facing such violence.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of Portugal, GREVIO experts recognise progress in developing comprehensive policies to address violence against women and preventive measures, in particular by promoting gender equality and combating gender stereotypes. It finds that further progress is needed to intensify interinstitutional cooperation, support women\u2019s NGOs and strengthen the response of the judiciary to protect victims and their children, as well as to hold perpetrators to account.<\/p>\n<p>With regard to Sweden, GREVIO highlights the numerous legislative and policy measures adopted over the past 40 years that clearly demonstrate Sweden\u2019s commitment to preventing and combating violence against women. Innovative approaches have gained Sweden international recognition as a strong leader in this area, which GREVIO\u2019s evaluation confirms in many regards. At the same time, GREVIO finds a high backlog of domestic violence and rape cases which the law enforcement authorities are urged to address. It also highlights the need for an efficient system of emergency barring and protection orders, embedded in a multi-agency approach involving all relevant agencies and specialist women\u2019s services.<\/p>\n<p>The publication of these two evaluation reports marks further progress in GREVIO&#8217;s monitoring procedure and demonstrates its commitment to the elimination of all forms of violence against women.<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"284\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rm.coe.int\/grevio-2019-inf-1-eng\/1680913768\">Comments of the Government of Portugal<\/a><\/td>\n<td width=\"559\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rm.coe.int\/grevio-inf-2019-2\/168091437c\">Comments of the Government of Sweden<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"284\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rm.coe.int\/summary-portuguese-first-report\/pdfa\/168091d89b\">Summary in Portuguese<\/a><\/td>\n<td width=\"559\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"284\"><a href=\"https:\/\/search.coe.int\/directorate_of_communications\/Pages\/result_details.aspx?ObjectId=090000168091d89e\">Press Release on the report on Portugal<\/a><\/td>\n<td width=\"559\"><a href=\"https:\/\/search.coe.int\/directorate_of_communications\/Pages\/result_details.aspx?ObjectId=090000168091d8a0\">Press Release on the report on Sweden<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: WUNRN \u2013 29.01.2019 https:\/\/www.coe.int\/en\/web\/istanbul-convention\/grevio GREVIO is the independent expert body responsible for monitoring the implementation of the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence (Istanbul Convention) by the Parties.
