A/HRC/8/52 page 177 • Consolidating the system of assistance to families, family counselling; improvement of income support • The development of cooperation with non-governmental organizations will also contribute to the effective combating of poverty and social exclusion (d) Poland pledges to further improve the situation of disabled persons. Due to its limited effectiveness, a review of the current system of vocational and social rehabilitation and employment of disabled persons, particularly with regard to vocational activation, will be carried out; (e) Poland will strengthen measures to reduce domestic violence. It indicated that current solutions need to be adjusted in light of the insufficient social awareness of the threats domestic violence poses to individuals, families and society as a whole, as well as insufficient assistance to victims of violence. An annual evaluation of the implementation of the National Programme to Counter Domestic Violence for 2006-2016 will constitute the basis for its adjustment to actual needs. Eradication of violence from the family environment can first and foremost be achieved through the implementation of programmes promoting positive methods of childrearing and partnership in the family, some of which are carried out in collaboration with the European Union and the Council of Europe. In 2008 the law against domestic violence and the National Programme to Counter Domestic Violence will be amended, resulting in: • A complete ban on corporal punishment, and financial support for the implementation of projects against domestic violence at municipal level within the framework of the National Programme to Counter Domestic Violence • The introduction of a warrant obliging the perpetrator to leave the house immediately after an incident of violence is reported by the victim • The introduction of cost-free forensic medical examinations (f) Poland will reinforce actions to implement equal treatment of women and men. A national programme for gender equality for the years 2009-2013 will be prepared, and the draft, on which consultations will be held with social partners and NGO representatives, covers the following areas of action: • Equal economic independence of women and men, including equality in the labour market • Reconciliation of family life and career • Participation in political life and decision-making • Equality in the area of health care • Eradication of all forms of gender-driven violence
