In 2005, a victim unit for immigrants and victims of racial and ethnic discrimination had been set up in cooperation with a Portuguese non-governmental organization. The unit received public financing on a yearly basis from the High Commission for Immigration and Intercultural Dialogue, and provided support free of charge to victims of racial discrimination and to immigrant victims in general. It was also possible to file a complaint for acts of racial discrimination constituting administrative infractions before the Commission for Equality and against Discrimination, and a discriminatory act or practice could also constitute a crime, according to criminal law. 533. The Plan for the Integration of Immigrants, adopted in 2007, which set the guidelines for public policy in the area of integration, covering areas such as employment, education, health and the prevention of and the fight against racial discrimination, sought to stimulate the participation of immigrants in the design, development and evaluation of immigration policies. The Plan was based on the clear assumption of responsibility by the State towards the integration of immigrant citizens, with special emphasis on the reinforcement of social cohesion and improving integration and the management of cultural diversity. 534. Portugal had set up national support immigrant centres and local support immigrant offices that provided information and support to immigrants. 535. On the issue of domestic violence, Portugal stated that the legal framework had been completed in September 2009 by the adoption of a law on compensation to victims of domestic violence, and another law on the legal regime applicable to the prevention of domestic violence and to the protection and assistance to its victims. These laws aimed to develop awareness, increase victims’ protection and ensure the prosecution and conviction of the perpetrators. A national network of domestic violence centres was set up in 2005 to provide an integrated response to cases of domestic violence, complementing the existing shelters network. Coverage of the whole country was achieved in January 2010. A growing investment in awareness-raising campaigns and in the training of police and prosecutors in the specific area of domestic violence had been taking place, which resulted in considerable progress in police and judicial practices. 536. Regarding the plan of action to combat human trafficking, the first national plan included a total of 63 measures, of which more than two thirds had already been taken. It had already begun the elaboration of a second national plan.

The OHCHR Recommended Principles and Guidelines on Human Rights and Human Trafficking had been used as a reference in the development of anti-trafficking policy. 537. Portugal ensured the protection of the rights of children of prisoners in accordance with the principle of the best interest of the child. An amendment to allow children up to 5 years of age to stay with their mothers in prison, instead of the current 3-year limit, was envisaged. 538. Portugal had rejected the recommendation to develop a national human rights plan in accordance with the Vienna Declaration because it considered that it could not prejudge the work that would be carried out by its national human rights commission. Portugal noted that, even though it did not have a global national human rights plan, it had several sector plans. This would be one of the issues at the top of the agenda of the new human rights commission, and Portugal would later inform the Council on the results of its deliberations. 159
