UN Women will be assisting in the implementation of the new Family Protection Act with the National Government following a new agreement with the Ministry of Women, Youth, Children and Family Affairs.
The assistance will come through a national resource group on gender equality and ending violence against women and girls, and support for front-line personnel responding to reports of domestic abuse or sexual violence.
The resource group will include representatives from the main disciplines that play a role in responding to and preventing violence against women, including health, police, social welfare, justice and education.
