Police-Related Activities of other Thematic Units The survey collected comparable data on the prevalence of different forms of violence against women perpetrated by partners and non-partners and examined the prevalence of violence against women in conflict-affected contexts, deepening the understanding of how violence against women is related to conflict. Data was also collected on the persisting attitudes and reasons for not reporting incidents to the police, as well as the satisfaction of women who have experienced violence with the support or response they received from the police. The research showed that gaps continue in the ability of institutions to understand and address women and girls’ experiences of personal insecurity and violence. It also demonstrated that attitudes that silence women and protect abusers persist at disturbingly high rates. In 2019, the project will focus on disseminating results to a broader local and international audience. At the OSCE National Action Plan Academy in Vienna, 19-20 April 2018, participants from Turkmenistan explore ways how to enhance the implementation of the women, peace and security agenda.
