Vienna (OTS) “The People’s Party focuses on protection from violence. The annual ’16 Days Against Violence’ initiative is an important building block for better and more comprehensive protection once morest violence for women. Unfortunately, violence once morest women is still a sad reality in our country. But that’s exactly why it’s important to take consistent action once morest it and develop new concepts. The Interior Ministry, led by Gerhard Karner, increased the number of prevention officers from 500 to 1,200, more than doubling it. But the mandatory ban on weapons following a ban on entry and approach and the introduction of advice centers for violence prevention also make the lives of victims of violence a little safer,” emphasizes the General Secretary of the People’s Party, Christian Stocker, on the occasion of the campaign ’16 Days once morest Violence once morest Women and Girl’.

“The historically highest women’s budget of 33.6 million euros also proves that the issue of protection from violence is central to the People’s Party. Women’s Minister Susanne Raab has significantly improved protection once morest violence in her department by funding violence centers, strengthening advice centers for women and girls and expanding protective and transitional housing,” concluded Stocker.
