The National Women's Strategy 2007-2016; including the establishment of COSC — the Irish Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence; represents the policies of the Government on equality of women matters. My Department is generally responsive to campaigns which the relevant organisations collectively organise together.

The Department is of course already involved in the funding of a number of these organisations to deliver initiatives which link in with the work of the Department in relation to gender equality and violence against women (including domestic violence).
