"Daphne is a nice name for the European programme aimed at combating violence against women and children. It is a programme that will soon be ten years old and that has enjoyed some success, with more than 350 projects funded, mainly through NGOs involved in this field.
Violence against women is a terrible blight. It is alarming that in 2006 adult women still come into the ‘vulnerable people' category. Around the world, one woman in three has been victim of one of the numerous forms of violence. There are a number of weapons at our disposal in the fight against these barbarous acts: draconian legislative measures, zero tolerance, listening to the victims and awareness-raising campaigns.
Children are also affected. The appearance of the PNVD alone, a Dutch political party in favour of child pornography and sexual relations between adults and children, is testimony to the failures of our system and speaks volumes about the reforms that need to be carried out.
In ten years, the Daphne budget has increased fivefold and now totals EUR 25 million per year. This is still not enough in my view to combat this kind of violence, which is all too often trivialised and which affects the most vulnerable, namely women and children."@en1
