If you are a legal aid software provider dealing with the difficulty of gathering admissible evidence in abuse cases — this project developed an integrated data platform that gathers court-proof evidence with victim consent. This streamlines the process of building a legal case.
Digital Tools and Training Systems for Combating Domestic Violence
Imagine a digital safety net that helps people in danger find help through a friendly chat interface. It's like having a knowledgeable guide in your pocket that not only gives advice but also securely saves evidence for court. At the same time, it trains the professionals who handle these cases to be more effective and empathetic.
What needed solving
Domestic violence reporting is often hindered by a lack of accessible, empathetic entry points for victims and a lack of specialized training for public authorities to collect court-admissible evidence.
What was built
A victim-support chatbot, an integrated evidence-gathering data platform, a serious game training module for authorities, and public awareness campaigns.

Who built it
The consortium is highly diverse with 15 partners across 9 countries, showing a strong cross-border approach. While it is dominated by 'Other' organizations (8) and universities (4), there is a modest industrial presence with 2 SMEs and 2 industry partners, representing a 13% industry ratio, which suggests the project is more focused on social implementation than immediate commercialization.
