“We are mindful of the fact that all over the world women and children are among the most vulnerable in our societies. And so we have instituted a clear and assertive zero tolerance policy in this regard. Violence against women and children must not be seen as either a "personal" or a "family" matter, but instead, it should be seen as a socially destructive behavior demanding judicial intervention. If and where this zero tolerance policy does not yet exist, we strongly urge its embrace and
implementation.”
