Amendment 100 #
Draft directive
Recital 6 a (new)
(6a) This Directive applies to protection measures which aim at protecting a person against an act or behaviour of another person which may, in any way, endanger his life, physical or psychological integrity and dignity, personal liberty or sexual integrity, for example by preventing any form of harassment, as well as his or her personal liberty, for example by preventing abductions, stalking and other forms of indirect coercion and aiming at avoiding new criminal acts or at reducing the consequences of previous criminal acts. It is important to underline that this Directive applies to protection measures which aim at protecting all victims and not only the victims of gender violence. This Directive is intended to apply to protection measures issued in favour of victims, or possible victims, of crimes. There are different types of violence affecting women in the Member States which can vary according to cultural tradition, ethnic origin, mentality and social background.
