The national campaign has promoted active participation at the national and provincial levels, which provide a crucial basis for promoting effective cooperation for more substantive work to end violence against women.
As part of the national campaign, a seminar entitled "The 1st Anniversary of the Protection of Victims of Domestic Violence Act, B.E. 2550 (2007): The Innovation for Professionally Tackling with Domestic Violence" was held on 22 November 2008.
