The initiatives within the Daphne III programme for fighting violence against women and minors – it is written in the report which is going to be taken into consideration by the European parliament next Monday – "may also tend to ensure exchange, detection and diffusion of information and good practices, including research, training, study visits and staff exchange, as well as to elaborate and experiment teaching and sensitization materials, studying phenomena linked with violence and the relevant impact on both victims and society on the whole", including social and economic costs, and costs concerning health care, "with the aim of fighting the origins of violence on all society levels". Among the most important groups detected by the Gröner report, and for which the programme is meant, there are "families, teachers and educators, social workers, the police and customs officers, local, national and military authorities, the medical and paramedical staff, judiciary staff, non-governmental organizations, unions and religious communities". The programme is actually "open to the participation of either public or private organizations and institutions", for any reasons committed "to prevent and fight violence against children, young people and women".
