As an umbrella organization the Alliance exchanges knowledge, experiences and good practices among its members. The focus of the European Alliance for Hope and Empowerment is the development of a multidisciplinary approach of gender-based violence, domestic violence, sexual violence and child abuse.

The EFJCA contributes firmly to the capacity building of professionals in contact with victims of all forms of violence against women and children. The EFJCA hereby focusses on enabling multi-disciplinary cooperation between professionals from different organisations. The sustainability of the FJCs and affiliated multi-agency centers, and the monitoring of the quality of their work are leading in the efforts and long-term results. This is also achieved by a sustainable network enhancing mutual learning and strengthening.

A Family Justice Center is a multiagency, multidisciplinary service center where public and private agencies assign staff members to, on a full-time or part-time basis, to provide services to victims of domestic violence, child abuse and sexual violence and their families from one location.
