Dafne – Combating violence

Measures for combating violence against children, young persons and women

The Daphne Program supports preventive measures to fight violence against children, young people and women. More specifically, Daphne projects cover trafficking and sexual exploitation, all forms of domestic violence and abuse, as well as violence in schools and violence towards minority groups and migrants.

There are two main objectives:

  • To support and encourage NGOs, and other organizations, including public authorities, active in the fight against violence, to work together. This will be achieved through the establishment of multidisciplinary transnational networks and the exchange of information, best practice and cooperation.
  • To support the raising of public awareness of violence and the prevention of violence against children, young people and women.
