Rebekah Wilson was delighted to attend the launch of the first-ever Network of specialised Lawyers and NGOs assisting victims of violence against women. The Council of Europe Violence against Women Division brought together an initial set of members of this new network for a day of knowledge sharing and networking.
The aim of the Network is to facilitate regular exchanges across lawyers from all Council of Europe member states and to serve as a knowledge-sharing platform for strategic litigation on violence against women. Through more and innovative case law, both at national and European level, it will enhance the implementation of the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence (Istanbul Convention) and the European Convention of Human Rights.
Rebekah is an expert on the European Convention on Human Rights and The Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence, also known as “the Istanbul Convention.
