Among the societal factors that influence rates of violence are those that create an acceptable climate for violence. … The silence and inhibition of those who know, and victim blaming attitudes, contribute to create a climate of tolerance that reduces inhibitions against violence, makes it more difficult for women to come forward, and promotes social passivity. … A public education effort is needed to break the silence, to reduce social tolerance, and to increase the level of social responsibility by promoting individual and collective action regarding domestic violence against women. … Zero tolerance campaigns, involving local organisations, community groups, academics, and a highly visible media campaign with the aim of challenging social attitudes towards violence against women by their intimate partners, are a good example of a public education effort to change the social climate of silence, tolerance and inhibition. 2, record 1, English, - social%20tolerance

Le syntagme «action diverse et de vaste portée» évoque une idée connexe à celle d'«appui généralisé». Le contexte suivant tiré de RISSO-F, 1992, Volume 5, numéro 132, page 7 éclaire : La violence est par nature si complexe que l'action menée pour réformer la société doit elle aussi être diverse et de vaste portée. Toutefois, il est évident que la solution passe par un changement de société : on ne peut venir à bout par des stratégies individuelles. 2, record 3, French, - appui%20g%C3%A9n%C3%A9ralis%C3%A9%20du%20public
