Philippe also pledged to seize firearms from abusive spouses and better train police as part of a package of measures, worth millions of euros, to reduce the number of women killed by their partners.
菲利普还承诺,将没收施暴者的枪支,并加强对警察的培训,作为一项耗资数百万欧元的一揽子措施的一部分,目的是减少被伴侣杀害的妇女人数。
Other measures include the creation of 1,000 new places in shelters for victims of domestic violence and expanding the use of electronic bracelets to prevent offenders approaching their victims.
其他措施还包括为家庭暴力受害女性在避难所增设1000个新床位,以及扩大使用电子脚链以防止罪犯接近受害者。
