POLICE-RELATED ACTIVITIES OF OTHER THEMATIC UNITS in the OSCE region” took place in 2016. This household-level survey will be implemented in up to ten OSCE participating States covering South-Eastern Europe, Eastern Europe and the South Caucasus. Over 16,000 women will be interviewed for the survey in nationally representative samples. The survey will provide information on the prevalence of sexual harassment, physical and sexual violence against women from partners and non-partners. The OSCE’s survey will include a conflict dimension in order to examine the prevalence of violence against women in conflict affected contexts, and deepen the understanding of how violence against women is related to conflict. Past research has shown that surveys are an important tool to show a truer picture of the extent of violence against women, as the cases reported to the police and other institutions are lower than the real prevalence of violence against women. The research will analyze the reasons for not reporting incidents to the police and the satisfaction of victims/survivors with the response of the police in cases where they reported their experiences. The survey results will be published in early 2019. On International Women’s Day on 8 March, the Gender Section organized a Power Breakfast event in Vienna on “Women’s Safety in Public Spaces.” Around the world, women and girls experience various types of sexual harassment and other forms of gender-based violence in public spaces, which can have a negative impact on their freedom of movement and their ability to participate in public life. Two experts from the Austrian Police Forces presented measures taken in Austria to address safety in public spaces. 3.2 Office of the Co-ordinator of Economic and Environmental Activities Introduction In 2016, the Economic Governance Unit of the Office of the Co-ordinator of OSCE Economic and Environmental Activities (OCEEA) continued to be involved in police-related activities, addressing good governance, anti-corruption and anti-money laundering. The Office co-operated closely with relevant thematic units, including OSCE field operations and partner organizations such as the Council of Europe, the Egmont Group, the Eurasian Group on Combating Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism (EAG), the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), and the World Bank.

The training delivered tools aimed at enhancing the capacities of border guards, customs services and anti-corruption authorities in the two target countries to more effectively investigate and prosecute corruption related cases, with an emphasis on cross-border related challenges. In May, OCEEA, in partnership with UNODC, organized four training courses for law-enforcement practitioners on Anti-Money Laundering/Combating the Financing of Terrorism in Ukraine. The aim of the first set of trainings was to improve co-operation between the investigative authorities and to build capacities in using the I2 software purchased by the OSCE for use by the Odessa State University of Internal Affairs to analyse criminal intelligence and conduct financial crime investigation trainings. OCEEA, in partnership with UNODC, also organized an anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing workshop on “Legal Entities and Financial Products and Financial disruptions” for some 25 participants from Ukrainian law enforcement agencies, the Financial Intelligence Unit, prosecution services and the 35
