The Romanian Academy's Sociology Institute has developed FEMI_RISC, the first tool for assessing femicide risk in Romania, based on 25 internationally recognized risk factors. This experimental tool aims to identify potential femicide cases early, allowing for timely intervention by authorities. Accompanied by a comprehensive methodology, FEMI_RISC outlines evaluation principles, professional categories for risk assessment, and ethical guidelines. The project, part of CARE, seeks to combat gender-based violence and human trafficking, supported by Swiss contributions. Ecaterina Balica, a leading researcher in this field, emphasizes the importance of changing societal perceptions regarding domestic violence prevention.
