The following funding has been made available by my Department since 2002 for awareness programmes to tackle domestic violence.

The amount of the awareness funding programme for 2007 will, when fully allocated, exceed that of 2006. The information available is that awareness campaigns have led to increases in the levels of reporting of domestic violence.
