All violence, whether physical, psychological or sexual, is a serious infringement of a human being’s right to life, security, freedom and dignity. When directed against the weak, namely children, young people or women, violence is also a serious threat to their physical and mental health.
These actions also have very serious consequences for the psychological and social development of whole families and communities. Unfortunately, violence is still an everyday occurrence in all the Member States of the European Union. So far, the joint action taken to prevent and to speak out about this problem, which has often been marginalised or viewed as shameful, has merely been the first timid step in the fight against violence.
A further programme, Daphne III, with a budget of 115 million euros, aims to prevent and combat violence in all its forms, both in the public and the private sphere. It aims to protect children, young people and women from violence through preventative measures and to provide support and protection for potential victims. In order for the Daphne programme to be successful, it must be visible to the citizens.
In addition to actions such as providing support and assistance to non-governmental organisations, institutions, organisations and associations, we also need to conduct effective campaigns to sensitise public opinion to the problem of violence and in particular to the problem of human trafficking involving women and children for the purpose of sexual exploitation.
Aid does not simply mean short-term actions, but also helping the victims of violence to gain access to the job market, for example, thereby facilitating their efficient integration into society. With this in mind, the initiative for a European Year of Combating Violence Against Women deserves our strong support."@en1
