Recital 6 a (new)
(6a) In its resolution of 2 February 2012 on the Daphne Programme: achievements and future prospects(1), the European Parliament regretted that combating violence against children, young persons and women was not expressly referred to as a specific objective in the Commission's proposal for this Regulation, considered it essential for the objectives Daphne III, in particular that of combating violence against women, to be retained among the objectives of the Programme, and maintained that the funding of the Programme should be maintained at the same or at a higher level than that of Daphne III and that the profile of Daphne III should remain high, bearing in mind their success, effectiveness and popularity.

Recital 7
(7) Violence against women, children, young persons and other groups at risk in all its forms constitutes a genuine violation of fundamental rights and a serious health scourgethreat to the physical and psychological of the victims of those acts. It is also the result of cultural and social factors, as well as a persistent inequality between men and women and an unequal distribution of power between men and women in our societies. Such violence is present throughout the Union and coordinated action is necessary in order to address itbased on the methods and results of the Daphne programmes. Taking action to combat violence against women contributes to the promotion of equality between women and men. As the Daphne programmes have been a genuine success since their launch in 1997, both in terms of their popularity with stakeholders (beneficiaries, public and academic authorities, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and in terms of the effectiveness of the projects funded by the programmes, it is essential that the Programme clearly identify projects relating to the objectives of preventing and combating violence against children, teenagers, women and other groups at risk as ''Daphne'' so as to keep the Daphne programmes' profile as high as possible.
