(d)
Develop penal, civil, labour and administrative sanctions in
domestic legislation to punish and redress the wrongs caused to women
who are subjected to violence; women who are subjected to violence
should be provided with access to the mechanisms of justice and, as
provided for by national legislation, to just and effective remedies for
the harm that they have suffered; States should also inform women of
their rights in seeking redress through such mechanisms;
(e)
Consider the possibility of developing national plans of
action to promote the protection of women against any form of violence,
or to include provisions for that purpose in plans already existing,
taking into account, as appropriate, such cooperation as can be provided
by non-governmental organizations, particularly those concerned with the
issue of violence against women;
(f)
Develop, in a comprehensive way, preventive approaches and
all those measures of a legal, political, administrative and cultural
nature that promote the protection of women against any form of
violence, and ensure that the re-victimization of women does not occur
because of laws insensitive to gender considerations, enforcement
practices or other interventions;
(g)
Work to ensure, to the maximum extent feasible in the light
of their available resources and, where needed, within the framework of
international cooperation, that women subjected to violence and, where
appropriate, their children have specialized assistance, such as
rehabilitation, assistance in child care and maintenance, treatment,
counselling, and health and social services, facilities and programmes,
as well as support structures, and should take all other appropriate
measures to promote their safety and physical and psychological
rehabilitation;
(h)
Include in government budgets adequate resources for their
activities related to the elimination of violence against women;
Take measures to ensure that law enforcement officers and
(i)
public officials responsible for implementing policies to prevent,
investigate and punish violence against women receive training to
sensitize them to the needs of women;
(j)
Adopt all appropriate measures, especially in the field of
education, to modify the social and cultural patterns of conduct of men
and women and to eliminate prejudices, customary practices and all other
practices based on the idea of the inferiority or superiority of either
of the sexes and on stereotyped roles for men and women;
(k)
Promote research, collect data and compile statistics,
especially concerning domestic violence, relating to the prevalence of
different forms of violence against women and encourage research on the
causes, nature, seriousness and consequences of violence against women
and on the effectiveness of measures implemented to prevent and redress
violence against women; those statistics and findings of the research
will be made public;
(l)
Adopt measures directed towards the elimination of violence
against women who are especially vulnerable to violence;
