Abstract

The campaign "Stop Domestic Violence against Women" (referred to below as "Stop Violence") is a prevention campaign of the Swiss Conference of Equality Officers. It has been primarily focussed an heightening public awareness of violence against women in relationships with the opposite sex and offering victims and experts a refuge and meeting place. Central elements of the campaign: public service announcements on television and in the radio broadcast at various times of the day and the Info Line, a trilingual hot line and contact point specially set up by the campaign for victims and experts. The evaluation was designed to describe and estimate the type and extent of phone contacts with victims, experts and other callers. It was also designed to survey the opinion of the campaign on the part of those confronted with the victims of domestic violence on a daily basis, i.e. the staff of women's shelters. Consequently, the goal of the evaluation was to gather feedback on the campaign as well as assess the benefits and effect of the Info Line.
