In the draft resolution, paragraph 6, at the beginning of the first sentence, insert the following words:

"Except in Slovenia, where statistics on violence against women show that this form of violence does not deviate from the average in European Union countries,"

Explanatory note

Numerous activities in Slovenia have reduced violence against women: the first Slovenian NGO for the prevention of violence against women was established in 1989; a national campaign against violence against women was launched in the early 1990s and Ministries are legally obliged to prepare two-year plans for the prevention of this violence.
