“This national plan represents a much-needed, decade-long commitment to eliminate the national crisis of domestic, family and sexual violence.” The main areas of focus include advancing gender equality and addressing other forms of discrimination that create the social context in which violence against women and children occurs; and focusing on stopping violence before it happens through a national prevention effort.
