The Czech Republic and Lithuania have not ratified the Istanbul Convention. The investigative team examined political, social, and cultural obstacles to ratification and assess the impact of the Convention in countries that have adopted it, as well as policies and programmes for victims of domestic violence in these countries.
Through interviewing NGO, lawyers, activists they would analyse and offer solutions to what can be done now, without the Istanbul convention, to better protect women. They would also describe what would change the ratification, how its signing impacted the situation in other countries.
