NANE Women's Rights Association released a publication “Integrated Client Service for Victims of Violence Against Women: The Results of a Pilot Programme. Policy Recommendations for Successful Prevention and Treatment of Domestic Violence”.

The publication is prepared within the framework of the pilot project aimed to provide integrated client services for survivors, and a multisector approach to domestic violence. NANE Women's Rights Association (NANE) and the Habeas Corpus Working Group (HCWG) introduced a series of interdisciplinary training and networking events and, in 2005, started a special support service for victims of domestic violence and, on a broader scale, for victims of violence against women. The purpose of this service was to take into account the clients' complex and interrelated needs for legal, psychological and social help.

The training sessions, seminars and workshops run under this pilot programme were attended by 98 persons in all: practitioners from diverse fields,  such as legal, law enforcement, psycho-social, medical, child-protection, pedagogy and more, both from public and civil institutions (NGOs). Thus the publication summarises the lessons learned from this pilot programme by presenting the cases of the clients who participated in what we termed 'integrated client service', and the conclusions drawn from the  training events, workshops and seminars as well as the cases themselves regarding general and specific policy recommendations for professionals, legislators and law implementation authorities.
