A.
An integrated, holistic approach
Actions to be taken by Governments and the international community:
·
Formulate comprehensive and multidisciplinary and coordinated national
plans, programmes or strategies, which will be widely disseminated, to
eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls and provide
for targets, timetables for implementation and effective domestic
enforcement procedures by monitoring mechanisms, involving all parties
concerned, including consultations with women’s organizations;
·
Call upon the international community to condemn and act against all
forms and manifestations of terrorism, in particular those that affect
women and children;
·
Develop strong and effective national, regional and international
cooperation to prevent and eliminate trafficking in women and girls,
especially for purposes of economic and sexual exploitation, including
the exploitation of prostitution of women and girls;
·
Encourage the media to take measures against the projection of images
of violence against women and children;
·
Strengthen effective partnerships with non-governmental organizations
and all relevant agencies to promote an integrated and holistic
approach to the elimination of violence against women and girls;
·
Integrate effective actions to end violence against women into all
areas of public and private life, as a means of working to overcome
the violence and discrimination that women face because of such
factors as race, language, ethnicity, poverty, culture, religion, age,
disability and socio-economic class or because they are indigenous
people, migrants, including women migrant workers, displaced women or
refugees;
·
Ensure that comprehensive programmes for the rehabilitation of victims
of rape are integrated into global programmes.

centres and other support services, including credit, medical,
psychological and other counselling services, as well as focus on
