A National Helpline for Women Experiencing Domestic Violence in Slovakia

The ESPN Flash Reports are produced by the European Social Policy Network (ESPN) established in 2014 to provide the European Commission with independent information, analysis and expertise on social policies. The topics presented in the Flash Reports are identified by ESPN experts in the light of significant developments in their countries, or in some cases suggested by the Commission.

The ESPN is managed by LISER and APPLICA, with the support of OSE - European Social Observatory. For more information, please visit this website.
In order to tackle violence against women in Slovakia, the National Helpline for Women Experiencing Domestic Violence started to operate in 2015. It offers counselling and emergency help free of charge to women, covering all forms of violence, on a permanent basis.
