Part 8/9:
Fostering Confidence Against Violence Toward Women and Girls
An especially critical focus was placed on violence against women and girls, with officials outlining ambitious national goals to halve instances of such violence over the next decade. The approach would involve collaboration with multiple sectors, including education and healthcare, to effectively tackle root causes and support victims.
Plans also included a review of the National Referral Mechanism (NRM) for trafficking victims, which has faced criticism for delay and inefficiency in supporting those affected by exploitation.
