From the Paper:

"Still, these actions must be set to follow similar objectives. Thus, the program proposed should envisage the coordinated action of a center with trained personnel in order to offer assistance in terms of philological support for victims of abuse. At the same time, the particular shelter should also include the financial capabilities to support a larger number of victims asking for help. Finally, the program should take into account a preemptive action as well, in order to limit the implications of current domestic abuses taking place. In this sense, children who have been subject to such treatments should receive proper care, physical and psychological one in order to help them reintegrate in the society and in a sound family environment."
