The Mediterranean Institute of Gender Studies [MIGS] is pleased to make available the Resource Book entitled Date Rape Cases among Young Women: Strategies for Support and Prevention. The resource book is a result of the transnational project Date Rape Cases among Young Women and the Development of Strategies for Support and Prevention, funded under the Daphne II Programme, European Commission. The resource book incorporates the results of a research study conducted by all partner organizations as well as good practice examples for support and prevention of date rape and sexual assault, as well as policy recommendations and strategies on the national and EU levels. 

The main aim of the project was to measure the prevalence and incidence of date rape among female college students, in the partner countries and assess the attitudes, behaviors and level of awareness among beneficiaries and target groups. The project also promoted awareness and made policy recommendations for prevention of date rape and support to victims.

This project was implemented in partnership with the Institute for Equality (Greece), the Coalition for Gender Equality in Latvia (Latvia), the University of Malta (Malta), and the Women’s Issues Information Centre (Lithuania).
