II) General contextOn 20 June 2007, the European Parliament and the Council adopted Decision No 779/2007/EC establishing, for the period 2007-2013, the specific programme Daphne III as part of the General Programme "Fundamental Rights and Justice". The aforementioned decision was published in the Official Journal L 173 of 3 July 2007. The aim of this programme is to contribute to the protection of children, young people and women against all forms of violence. Over the next twelve months, around 3,500 children under the age of 15 will die as a result of physical assault and neglect in the world’s richest nations. One out of every ten schoolchildren faces violence at school – some of it so traumatic that suicide seems the only way out.1 Moreover, recent studies on gender-based violence suggest that an estimated one-fifth to one-quarter of all women in Europe have experienced physical acts of violence at least once during their adult lives, and more than one-tenth have suffered sexual violence involving the use of force2. One particularly serious form of violence is human trafficking: the estimated number of trafficking victims in the EU is over 100.000 per year, and 80% of these are women and girls. The general objective of Daphne III will be to contribute to the protection of children, young people and women against all forms of violence and to attain a high level of health protection, well-being and social cohesion. These general objectives will contribute to the development of Community policies, in particular those related to public health, human rights and gender equality, as well as actions aimed at protection of children's rights, and the fight against trafficking in human beings and sexual exploitation. The programme's specific objective will be to contribute to the prevention of, and the fight against, all forms of violence occurring in the public or the private domain against children, young people and women, including sexual exploitation and trafficking in human beings, by taking preventive measures and by providing support and protection for victims and groups at risk. The programme will achieve its objectives by means of transnational actions (grant funding), the Commission's own-initiated actions (contracts) or operating grants to NGOs, which aims will be to:
The programme is open to participation by NGOs, local public authorities and institutions (mainly universities and research institutes) from the 27 EU Member States, the EFTA/EEA countries (Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein), the candidate countries and the Western Balkan states. The funding of organisations from the candidate and Western Balkan states is however conditional on these countries having entered into a memorandum of understanding with the Commission on their financial contribution to the EU budget for their participation in the programme. No formal negotiation to this end has yet been initiated. The European Parliament will vote on this instrument, most probably in March (2 nd reading) and the Commission's hope is that the Council will be able to adopt the programme during the same month. 1: Communication kit for Regional Consultation for the UN Study on Violence Against Children, July 2005 2: Council of Europe, "Combating violence against women – stocktaking study on the measures and actions taken in Council of Europe member states", 2006.
