Work on the preparation of the National Strategy on Domestic, Sexual and Gender-based Violence is well advanced and is expected to be completed as planned by the end of this year.

A wide range of State and non-governmental organisations dealing with domestic and sexual violence are assisting with the drafting of the strategy. They responded to the call for submissions on the strategy and participated in subsequent regional consultations. A further round of consultations with such organisations will begin as planned in the coming weeks. The organisations which responded to the call for submissions are listed in the appendix to the report on the Summary of Submissions to Cosc, a link to which is in the National Strategy section of Cosc's website (www.cosc.ie). Progress on the preparation of the Strategy is also outlined on the website.
