Daphne 3: Prevent and combat violence against children, young people and women

Call priorities

- Street and peer violence - Identification of best practices, recommendations, education and campaigns involving young people on the issues of street violence, youth violence and related lifestyle issues such as drug and alcohol abuse and weapon-carrying.

- Media violence - Targeted educational programmes and activities designed to increase children, young people and/or women's understanding of the potentially negative impacts of new technologies and to educate them on risks and solutions with the aim to ensure their well being and safety.

- Corporal punishment of children - Awareness-raising and educational materials addressing the issue of corporal punishment of children in their homes and/or in institutional or quasi institutional settings throughout Europe.

- Capacity building of law enforcement agents and legal practitioners related to intimate partner violence - Training and exchange of experiences with the view of building the capacity of practitioners in the law enforcement, judicial and para-legal fields to assist women victims of intimate partner violence when in contact with the police or judicial system.

- Field work at grass-roots level with involvement of children, young people and/or women, in particular programmes that aim to empower them to protect themselves and their peers against violence. Such programmes might specifically include training, counselling, formal and informal support group mechanisms and innovative ideas for developing a protective environment for children, young people and women.
