National Domestic Violence Prevention Plan: New Actions and Coordination
This bill aims to establish a nationwide plan to combat domestic violence. This means the government will more intensively coordinate prevention, education, and support efforts to reduce incidents of violence and assist victims. The plan seeks to improve citizens' safety and well-being by focusing on preventing the problem before it occurs.
