To maximize the outreach of STOP’s final conference, it is decided to hold the conference adjacent
to the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. The conference is held at
University of Granada with participation of numerous public and NGO stakeholders. The
conference receives widespread media coverage, including newspapers and television. The STOP
team presents outcomes from the project; this is followed by discussions with the audience about
the feasibility of interventions against intimate partner violence centered around pregnancy,
interventions targeted migrant women, and the potential of centering the intervention around
pediatric care. The program for the event, a signed attendance list, and the presentation is attached
as appendices.

The target group and focus area of STOP requires careful considerations in relation to the
communication and dissemination efforts of the project and project partners in order not to put
pregnant women exposed to IPV at any further risk. Therefore, the initial efforts are focused
around the project website to reach a wide audience and raise awareness of the activities the
project undertakes in relation to combatting intimate partner violence. During the project
lifetime, the communication and dissemination efforts will be adapted.

Communication and dissemination in STOP are generally, but not exclusively, targeted to health
care professionals and other stakeholders. External communication efforts are centered around
the project’s website, which has serves as a repository of public deliverables and news titbits from
STOP.

On November 25-26, the STOP consortium reached quite a milestone. Not so much a milestone related to the project activities but a milestone for the collaboration.

After working together for more than a year, we finally managed to meet each other in person for the first physical consortium meeting in the project lifetime. The consortium met in beautiful Granada for a two-day meeting and Granada was the perfect location as the city celebrated the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women on November 25th.

This consortium meeting focused on the current status of the project and we also started planning for 2022 which will be a(nother) busy year in the STOP project. During 2022, we will offer our services to thousands of women across the Region of Southern Denmark and Andalucia. We will also finalise the data collection and start working on the publication of our results and experiences from the project.

We look forward to sharing it!
