Tóm tắt : | 27 p. On 8-9 June 2009 the WHO Regional Office for Europe, the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Latvia, the Public Health Agency of Latvia and the Nordic Council of Ministers jointly organized the Nordic Baltic workshop on the prevention of family violence with a focus on the role of health sector in multisectoral response, in Riga, Latvia. The workshop was attended by 95 participants consisting of policy makers from various sectors, health professionals, activists and young journalists from 13 European countries. Evidence on examples of good-practice were exchanged and experiences on implementing evidence-based programmes for preventing intimate partner violence, child maltreatment and elder abuse were discussed. This included policy response, multisectoral stakeholder collaboration, primary prevention, capacity building and cross cutting risk factors such as social determinants of health and alcohol misuse. The workshop identified the following priorities for action: developing comprehensive national policies for prevention of family violence which cover all types of violence and risk groups; strengthening research and evidence-based practice by facilitating the exchange of knowledge and experience across the sub region; increasing capacity in the health and justice sector through the implementation of capacity building tools; strengthening primary prevention measures targeting age specific groups; improving advocacy and developing effective communication strategies to address family violence through the media. Progress in these areas would strengthen the prevention of family violence in the Nordic Baltic States. WHO wish to thank the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Latvia, the Public Health Agency of Latvia and the Nordic Council of Ministers for coorganizing the workshop and the Government of Norway for their generous support. This report has been prepared by H Bie, E Lapina and D Sethi, and laid out by M Gallitto. |
