CAT/C/NOR/CO/6-7 (b) Amend its legislative framework in order to limit the use of solitary confinement to exceptional circumstances; (c) Guarantee due process rights of prisoners in decisions concerning solitary confinement; (d) Evaluate and assess the existing practice of the use of solitary confinement and review the existing mechanisms for control and legal remedies; (e) Establish a system in order to provide detailed statistics on the use of solitary confinement and disclose them publicly. Violence against women 12. The Committee welcomes measures being taken to prevent gender-based violence, including the drawing up of the fourth national plan of action to combat domestic violence. Notwithstanding this development, the Committee has received reports on the increasing high rates of violence against women, including rape, and notes, with concern, the low number of complaints, investigations, prosecutions and convictions in rape cases (arts. 2, 12, 13 and 16). The Committee urges the State party to: (a) Adopt a legal definition of rape in the Penal Code which clearly defines rape and other forms of sexual violence as any sexual conduct without the consent of the victim; (b) Strengthen its efforts to prevent violence against women through, inter alia, the effective implementation of the White Paper Fra Ord til Handling (From Words to Action) and the establishment of sexual assault centres in each county; (c) Combat practices and prejudices among the law enforcement personnel that constitute a barrier to reporting rape, sexual violence and violence against women; (d) Conduct broader awareness-raising campaigns and training on sexual violence for law enforcement agencies, judges, lawyers and social workers who are in direct contact with the victims and for the public at large, in order to create all the appropriate conditions for victims to report such cases to the authorities; (e) Initiate prompt, effective and impartial investigations concerning all alleged cases of violence against women and prosecute and punish perpetrators in accordance with the seriousness of their acts. Mental health care for prisoners 13. The Committee regrets that prisoners with serious mental health problems are not always provided appropriate psychiatric health care. In particular, the Committee is concerned at the insufficient capacity of in-patient psychiatric wards to accommodate prisoners with serious mental illnesses and at the severe insufficiency of mental health-care services available and provided to the prisoners within the prison facilities (arts. 11 and 16). The State party should take all measures to ensure that prisoners with serious mental health problems receive adequate mental health care, by increasing the capacity of inpatient psychiatric wards and providing full access to mental health-care services within all prison facilities. 4
