National Action Plan against domestic violence for years 2010-2014

This action plan aims at improving and systematizing the implementation of existing provisions in the area of domestic violence, which in the Czech Republic not only covers violence against women, but also violence against children at home, either as witnesses of violence against women or victims. This action plan, adopted as part of a national strategy on domestic violence, pays specific attention to children, including as potential victims. It encourages the legislator to more specifically address violence against children in the legislation and to improve data collection as well as assistance services and the training of professionals. No mention is made of mutilations, though.
