Official title:
Building Capacity of State and Local Actors to Respond to Violence Against Women: Impact Evaluation of the 123 Women Emergency Phone Line in Medellín (Colombia), Component of the Program "Seguridad Pública".
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the 123 women emergency phone line of Medellin (Colombia) leads to a reduction in the violence suffered by women, as well as in their psychological wellbeing and attitudes towards violence.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the 123 women emergency phone line of
Medellin (Colombia) leads to a reduction in the violence suffered by women, as well as in
their psychological wellbeing and attitudes towards violence.
There is excess demand for the 123 women emergency phone line of Medellin. While on average
10 cases are reported (excluding referrals at night by the police, between 7pm and 7:00
a.m.), the average daily capacity of operation is 6 cases. So, is not possible for the 123
women team to track all women who call in 24 hours. Women who cannot receive the services of
the 123 women team only get the emergency support of the police and do not receive
additional aid (while it is verified that the rights of women are respected and they are
guided to relevant services). The excess of demand over the capacity of the team of the 123
women line represents a natural experiment.
Women will be recruited from those who are attended by the 123 emergency women phone line
immediately as well as from those who were only attended by emergency support of the police
and may have received later the support of the 123 women line (control group). In a first
instance, women will be called to verify their address. A face to face survey will be
conducted by mid-2015.
