109. Proposed indicators:
• Existence of a countrywide awareness-raising campaign of violence against women
1.
A recurrent national year-on-year campaign addressing all forms of violence
against women
2.
A recurrent national year-on-year campaign addressing specific forms of violence
against women
3.
A one-off national campaign addressing all forms of violence against women
4.
A one-off national campaign addressing specific forms of violence against women
5.
A localized year-on-year campaign addressing all forms of violence against
women
• Violence prevention integrated into school curriculum
1.
Prevention of all forms of violence against women integrated across the entire

2.
Prevention of some forms of violence against women integrated across the entire
curriculum nationally
3.
Prevention of all forms of violence against women addressed through specific
programmes nationally
4.
Prevention of some forms of violence against women addressed through specific

violence against women is automatic for all newly qualified personnel alongside in-service
