incidences of DSGBV among these pre-identified target communities.

strand relates primarily to enhancing awareness among migrant
communities of the work of An Garda Siochana; improving levels of
trust to encourage the reporting of incidents of DSGBV and to enhance
responses to such incidents. Focus should be on any existing best
practice and using the research results to develop operating
procedures for use by An Garda Siochana. The development of community
policing fora also forms part of the aims of Protect III and the work
