In January and February 2025, the Autonomous Women's Center conducted seminars in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Kragujevac, and Niš for professionals working in the judiciary, police, and social welfare centers. The training sessions covered two key topics: the prevention of femicide and support for children of femicide victims, as well as the concept of "parental alienation" in the context of domestic violence.

The training program Preventing Femicide and Protecting Children of Femicide Victims, accredited by the Chamber of Social Protection, was organized in January in cooperation with the Judicial Academy. These sessions were part of joint efforts to enhance the skills of institutional representatives dealing with cases of domestic and intimate partner violence, particularly those involved in the work of Coordination and Cooperation Groups. The training addressed coordinated actions of higher and basic public prosecutor's offices under the Law on the Prevention of Domestic Violence, challenges and possibilities in handling severe forms of gender-based violence, and the legal position of children whose mothers are victims of femicide in criminal proceedings. The lecturers included Ivana Milovanović, a judge at the Higher Court in Niš; prosecutor Milica Ljubičić from the Higher Basic Public Prosecutor's Office; Gorjana Mirčić Čaluković from the Judicial Academy; and Vanja Macanović from the Autonomous Women's Center.

The seminar Domestic Violence Hidden Behind the Concept of 'Parental Alienation,' accredited by the Republic Institute for Social Protection, was held in four cities during January and February. The seminar focused on complex cases involving child custody decisions and determining contact arrangements with the non-custodial parent in the context of domestic violence, particularly when a child resists or refuses contact with a parent or when claims arise that "parental alienation" has occurred or may occur. The topics discussed included the concept of "parental alienation," understanding coercive control and post-divorce abuse, assessing the best interests of the child, and gender-sensitive outcomes in court proceedings related to custody and contact arrangements in cases of domestic and intimate partner violence. The lecturers were Tanja Ignjatović and Vanja Macanović from the Autonomous Women's Center.

More than 200 professionals, including judges, prosecutors, police officers, and social workers, attended the seminars in the four cities.

The seminars were organized as part of the project Strong Resistance Movement of women human rights defenders for protecting women victims/survivors of gender-based violence and their children, funded by the European Union.
