A/HRC/18/2 and initiatives based on the principle of the fair sharing of responsibilities and solidarity, and strove to enhance its cooperation on migration governance. 515. Greece noted that the promotion of gender equality and the fight against domestic violence were recurrent issues raised during the session of the Working Group. The General Secretariat for Gender Equality had launched a national plan of action for the period 2010– 2013 with the goal of preventing and combating violence against women in their family and in private life, in the workplace and more broadly in society. Other best practices included the strengthening of supervision and monitoring of gender equality in all State policies, support for women’s organizations and non-governmental organizations in the elaboration and implementation of plans of action in favour of gender equality, and the elaboration of a manual aiming at the protection of women refugees. 516. The fight against trafficking in human beings continued unabated, based in particular on the prosecution of traffickers and the protection of victims. With regard to the situation of Roma, an integrated plan of action for the social integration of Greek Roma (2002–2008) had yielded positive results, in particular in the field of housing. Education programmes were implemented with a twofold goal: to enhance the access of Roma children to educational facilities at an early stage, and to improve the education provided to Roma children. Another important measure was the establishment of education priority zones to ensure integration of students from areas with low educational and socioeconomic indicators, including Roma pupils. The legislative framework against hate speech and racism would soon be updated and strengthened by means of the inclusion of a relevant European Union Council framework decision into the Greek legal system. The procedure for the construction of a mosque in Athens would be accelerated thanks to the transformation of an existing building on a State-owned plot. 517. With regard to the accountability of law enforcement personnel, a new law had been adopted in 2011 establishing, within the Ministry for Citizens’ Protection, an office responsible for handling alleged instances of abuse by police, coast guard and fire brigade officers. 518. Lastly, the delegation of Greece stated that the outcome of the universal periodic review would be disseminated to Government authorities, relevant stakeholders and the general public.
