This handbook is designed to help States
develop and enhance their national action plans
in order to effectively deal with the issue of
violence against women. Based on expert advice
and good practices currently existing in
national action plans, this handbook examines
existing human rights treaties and policies and
provides a model framework on how to develop a
States national action plan on violence
against women. Intended to both prevent and
respond to violence against women, it includes
advice on implementation, guiding principles
and how to effectively monitor the action
plans outcomes.
