The WAVE (Women Against Violence Europe) was established to network womenĺs NGOs. Firstly, the focus was on building up an effective network. Secondly, it was a systematic treatment of the issue of violence against women and children and documenting the current state of affairs. This project (November 1998 ľ November 1999) focused on establishing a European database providing comprehensive documentation of the issue of violence against women and children and up-to-date information on the subject. This database covers every European country and is available on the Internet. Its address data relate primarily to NGOs and their assessment of the situation.
