"I wholeheartedly supported the report on the Daphne programme. Violence against women is one of the main and most serious symptoms of discrimination, and the objective of the Daphne programme is precisely that of highlighting the issue of violence against women as well as combating it. It allows women’s organisations to carry out projects and undertake action in this field. Around 500 projects funded under the programme have made a large contribution to raising public awareness of the problem of violence. They have initiated national debate and social campaigns regarding this issue and they have contributed to individual countries undertaking legislative initiatives aimed at combating violence. For example, Belgium and Ireland have established national research centres to investigate violence against women.
First and foremost, the Daphne programme has helped to raise awareness of important issues relating to violence, and has played a role in initiating a debate on ways of combating this problem. Considering the growing popularity of online social networks in recent times, and the resulting new forms of violence, funding for the Daphne programme should be increased. It is also important to extend the group of beneficiaries of the programme to include small non-profit women’s organisations that operate at local level, and are therefore closest to the victims."@en1
