The database of the network, once irrelevant cases and doubles (cases that have been registered twice) have been screened out, counts at the beginning of August 2010, 546 women victims of violence. Before analysing the content of these cases of violence, it is interesting to question what guides women to the monitoring centers. To the question: how did you get to know about the center, the answers are as following:  21% of the women say they have been informed through a means of communication, such as the radio (mostly local), the internet (10 specified it), the press.  The word of mouth remains, however, the most widespread medium of information: 41% of women received information from a friend, from a beneficiary of the center or from a close relative.  Thanks to the information work and the lobbying done by some centers, the institutions represent significant vehicles of orientation of female victims towards the monitoring centers: 10%. It is essentially the hospital from which the information originates, but also the police station and the court.  Finally, the associations are at the origin of 5% of the information given to victims on the existence of the centers. Among the abused women who come to the centers of the network, the great majority (65%) is married. Single women follow with 23% of the cases. Divorced women represent 10% of the whole and widows only 1%. One case could not be classified by the listener: a woman married according to civil law, but whose religious marriage had not taken place yet. This is a relatively frequent phenomenon where the formality of civil marriage has been carried out but socially-speaking the woman is not married yet. The situation becomes more complicated, from the social point of view, when for instance the woman gets pregnant, or from a legal point of view when the ‘spouse’ indefinitely postpones the marriage or even disappears. The woman is thus obliged to ask for a divorce, without effectively having been married. F. Project of support of implementation of laws, policies and action plan in force related to violence against women 1) Pertinence Since its conceptualisation in 2007, the project remains very relevant and still corresponds to a real need for information on Violence Against Women (VCF). The specific objective is the establishment of a reliable and credible tool to make VCF visible through targeting the most frequent cases of violence, with the aim of advocating to the public authorities and the society so that they take action, create programs for a better support of VCF, and so that they actively support the implementation of the National Strategy for the Fight Against Violence Against Women (SNLCVCF). Three results are expected. They are clear, precise and coherent:
