Plan of Action Domestic Violence to 2011: the Next Phase
Plan van Aanpak Huiselijk Geweld tot 2011; de volgende fase
This new Action Plan is following up the plan from 2002 “Private violence- Public Issue” that was done during 2002-2008. While the previous plan focused on establishing the infrastructure to enhance the collaboration at local level, this new plan will enforce and consolidate the instruments developed under the previous plan, as well as enhance the quality of the approach of domestic violence (i.e. broadening the approach to child abuse, focusing on causes of domestic violence, targeted approach of the whole family and reinforcing the penalisation of violence. Under action point 6 (Help and Support), the plan mentions that FGM will be dealt with firmly. No details of this approach to FGM are provided
