On the above website and also on the WAVE
website you can find, among other useful materials, the outline of
the COE campaign (Blue Print), prepared by the Task Force to
Combat Violence against Women, including Domestic Violence.
The Blue Print should be distributed widely on the national
level to inform many institutions, organisations and persons about
the COE campaign and to encourage them to join. It should also serve
as the base for national action plans. If would be very useful to
translate it to the language of your country. If you have
Blue Prints translations, please send it to the WAVE office -
we will help to distribute it.
Currently the Blue Print is available in French
and English (see CoE Campaing website).
Colleagues from Swizzerland have
translated the Blue Print into German. To get a
German version please send a mail to: office@wave-network.org

COE Member States - List
of the High Level Officials and Focal Points for the
campaign
According to the Blue Print every Member State
should to nominate a governmental High Level official as well
as a Focal Point. Further also the national parliaments
should nominate a contact person (see below). Member States should
also establish National Task Forces, develop and implement
National Action Plans and report to the COE about the
activities.
"Focal Points should be supported by a
national Task Force on violence against women occurring in the
family or domestic unit which should include women's NGOs and others
working to combat violence against women. The role of the national
Task Force is to support the delivery of member states' national
campaigns to combat violence against women, including violence in
the family or domestic unit."
