The VAW Monitoring Program of the Open Society Institute invited the 24 National VAW Monitors of StopVAW (NGOs working in the field of violence against women) to map the situation in their countries on violence against women, with special regard to the state response to it.

The monitoring methodology was based on Recommendation (2002)5 of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe on the protection of women against violence.  As a result of the monitoring, a country report on Azerbaijan has been prepared. This report issues clear recommendations to the Azerbaijanian government, serving as an effective tool for advocacy at the national and international level.
