A Monegasque delegation led by HE Mr Rémi Mortier, Ambassador, Permanent Representative of Monaco to the Council of Europe, met in Strasbourg on November 8 with members of GREVIO, the expert body of the Convention on the prevention and fight against violence against women and domestic violence.
This provided was an opportunity to present measures taken by the Prince’s government to combat violence against women, both in terms of repression and preventive measures, but also in terms of training of personnel. The delegation included representatives of all the departments, directorates and entities of the government concerned.
The Council of Europe Convention that established GREVIO, known as the Istanbul Convention, was ratified by Monaco on October 7, 2014. Monaco is the first state to hold a meeting with this body to consider the report submitted by its authorities on September 1, 2016 on the implementation of the Convention as a whole.
Two members of GREVIO will visit the Principality in December 2016 in order to assess concretely the practical arrangements for the implementation of the Convention. At the end of this meeting, GREVIO will prepare its final report, including recommendations that the Monegasque authorities will be invited to implement.

As every year, the association Monaco Disease Power holds a charity event, which takes place this year on April 12 at the Yacht Club of Monaco.
Under the presidency of Prince Albert, this gala brings together many personalities from the Principality, the main supporters of the association, as well as families concerned by disability issues.
The organisers say: “After celebrating our 10th anniversary last June, more than ever, we need you to see the many projects undertaken by the association for the benefit of children with autism, disability or mental illness.”
Among these projects, the extension of the Maison d'Amélie at Annot, a place of life and respite for children and their families, will double its reception capacity as well as see the creation of additional clusters of activities, including a therapeutic basin, an activity room and a multipurpose room. This will bring new programmes to life, including medical conferences on various issues related to autism and mental disabilities, and the creation of a training centre for staff specialising in the care of people with autism.
“It is only thanks to donations that we have been able to carry out many achievements for more than ten years, it is thanks to you that we will continue our activities.”
April is Autism Awareness Month, and this year Monaco Disease Power will be a partner of the “1000 km for Autism”, a tandem bike event that starts from 2 impasse de la Fontaine in Monaco on Sunday, April 29 and ends in Le Touquet on May 12.
Tickets for the gala are €250 per person. Info: vincent.parinaud@colibri.mc
