Interinstitutional cooperation and advocacy for the protection of children victims of sexual abuse and violence
Barnahus-FRAME: Fostering Resilient and Multidisciplinary Environments (B-FRAME)
The project builds on the experience of the first Barnahus centre in Romania, developed in Bucharest, which has provided integrated services to more than 100 children victims of sexual abuse or other serious forms of violence. The Barnahus model is recognised at European level as good practice for the protection of child victims, bringing social, medical, legal and law enforcement services together under one roof to avoid re-traumatising the child.
The project responds to a real need: Romania records over 20,000 reported cases of child abuse, neglect or exploitation every year, and the current system is fragmented and difficult for victims to navigate.
Project objectives
1. Extending the Barnahus model to 9 new counties in Romania within the first 17 months of the project.
2. Promoting at least two legislative changes allowing the Barnahus model to be integrated into the national child protection and justice system.
