Origin
2025 - Third part-session
In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 20.1.5 with the following paragraph:

"provide training to the police, the judiciary and all professionals likely to be in contact with victims of gender-based and sexual violence on preventing, identifying and combating gender-based violence, ensuring that these institutions do not contribute, through their response, to a situation of secondary victimisation"

Explanatory note

Many professionals may come into contact with victims of violence. They need to be trained in how to deal with them and listen to what victims have to say. The steps taken by victims must not become a new form of violence for them.
