The implementation of measures for women and their children affected by domestic and/or sexualised violence will be completed for the time being in summer 2020. Further measures can however be added as new knowledge is obtained and needs arise. The further measures to combat all forms of violence, including measures to combat female genital mutilation, are designed so that they can if necessary be adopted and implemented even beyond 2020. - 2 - • The three-stage plan is based on the comprehensive needs assessment study commissioned by the Bavarian State Ministry for Family, Employment and Social Affairs (see section G) and the results of a subsequent working group in which, among others, the departments affected by the subject, the municipal umbrella associations concerned, the women's subsection of the Bavarian Social Welfare Service, the state working group of Bavarian equal opportunity centres as well as experienced experts nominated by members of the working group were represented. The scientific basis and close involvement of the various participants ensured that the topic was comprehensively and holistically covered. The practical experience of the women's support system was included when preparing the three-stage plan and in implementation of the measures by the women's subsection of the Bavarian Social Welfare Service, so that the needs of the women affected by violence and their human rights take centre stage. • The measures are coordinated by Department VI ("Women's policy, equality, prevention") of the Bavarian State Ministry for Family, Employment and Social Affairs (StMAS – Bayerisches Staatsministerium für Familie, Arbeit und Soziales). An inter-ministerial working group of the departments concerned has been established in addition to the complementary long-term and broad-based measures. • The concrete implementation of measures to further develop the support system for women and their children affected by domestic and/or sexualised violence is closely coordinated with the women's subsection of the Bavarian Social Welfare Service and the Statewide Coordination Centre combating domestic and sexualised violence. Measures: see section C. Further measures on a topic-specific basis in concrete cases are implemented through consultation with those that have practical experience, also at local level, and with the involvement of scientific expertise, which as far as possible ensures a needs-based approach. The implementation of measures intended to extend the support system for women and their children affected by domestic and/or sexualised violence will be completed for the time being in summer 2020. • Adults, children and adolescents affected by domestic and/or sexualised violence can visit www.bayern-gegen-gewalt.de to find important information and contacts relating to domestic and sexualised violence. This site is gradually being developed to include different forms of violence and is being adapted to the special counselling needs during the Corona pandemic. Anyone who observes violence in their neighbourhood or suspects it within their family or circle of friends will also find contact points there, which provide advice and support. A brochure on the current implementation status of the three-stage plan to protect against and prevent violence can be accessed via www.bayern-gegen-gewalt.de/gewaltschutz-konzept.

All duties assigned by law and from within the administration must in principle be performed within the budget and human resources available to the police service. This naturally includes police measures to combat violence against women, including prevention and information activities. It is not possible to extrapolate specific areas (such as prevention measures). The Bavarian Accommodation Department's Protection Strategy for the Prevention of Violence • The "Bavarian Accommodation Department's Protection Strategy for the Prevention of Violence" (last revised 19 October 2018) was prepared in the context of accommodating individuals in Bavarian refugee centres. • Forms of violence: to combat any form of violence against all those housed in refugee centres (not limited to women). • Time frame: permanent task • Human rights: The Bavarian strategy for protection against violence is designed to be preventive, so it does not involve confrontation with "victims". • Coordination and implementation: The Free State of Bavaria has created 19 posts for protection against violence coordinators, who develop their own internal protection strategies for refugee centres when implementing the Bavarian strategy for protection against violence. • Progress: these institution-specific strategies for protection against violence in refugee centres have in some cases already been prepared and are being applied. • Establishment of financial resources: 6x violence protection personnel TV-L
