Policy Conference “Unseen no more”

Unseen No More: Policies and Partnerships to Protect Older Women from Violence

Date and Time: 3 February 2026, 09:30 – 16:30 CET

Location: Mundo Madou, Av. des Arts 7/8, 1210 Bruxelles

Violence against older women has long remained invisible – but not anymore. 

Through the EU-funded project MARVOW 2.0, experts, services, and policy makers from across Europe have worked together to build a coordinated multi-agency response to gender-based violence against older women. The project developed risk assessment tools, trained frontline professionals, and strengthened cooperation between agencies to better protect older women and ensure their voices are heard. 

The conference “Unseen no more!”  will bring together policy makers, civil society and front line professionals to discuss how policies and partnerships can protect older women from violence.
