With the support of UN Women, a project was startet that helps gather the cases of
violence against women identified at different monitoring centers. In this project, the
monitoring centers are federated in a network and have adopted a common framework for
the collection of data.
The National Consultative Commission for the Promotion and Prevention of Human Rights
(CNCPPDH) proposed to study, together with associative movement, the implementation of
programs of awareness raising and public education to prevent violence against women
thanks to the promotion of equality and mutual respect between men and women, notably
through:
The elaboration and popularization of a guide that would identify all forms of violence
and would list the sanctions incurred by their perpetrators as well as all the remedies at
the disposition of victims of this violence.
The creation of a database containing information disaggregated by age based on the
range, the nature and the consequences of all forms of violence against women, in a way
that enables the legislator to promulgate more coercive laws.
The definition of multidisciplinary approaches, taking into account the gender specifics,
especially thanks to the partnerships between those in charge of repression services and
services specialized in the protection of women who are victims of violence.
D. PROMOTION OF SOCIO ECONOMIC RIGHTS FOR WOMEN IN RURAL
ENVIRONMENT
1) PERFOMED ACTIONS
In view of the promotion of socio-economic rights of women in rural environment,
actions have been taken by public institutions, in particular the ministry of agriculture and
rural development, the ministry of education and professional education, and the
associative movement. These actions reflect the willingness to improve the economic
situation of rural women and their exercise of the right to development. These actions are
surely laudable but remain below the needs and expectations of those concerned and
their results remain limited.
Regarding the actions undertaken by the ministry of agriculture and rural development,
we appreciate the introduction of a participative approach that involves male and female
populations. This approach is clearly formulated within the policy of rural renewal and
the intervention consists in a project of local and integrated rural development. Indeed,
rural development projects are initiated by actors on the basis of a bottom-up approach,
which takes into account the needs expressed by those concerned. Rural women have
an undeniable and recognised role in the family economy and economic development in
general. In the framework of this new vision of rural development, they have an
indisputable opportunity to exercise their right to development.
