capable of ensuring their functioning and even less so their funding. The building of capacities
for resource mobilization should be considered.
5) Impact (indications)
It is difficult to speak about the impact of such a short-term project, nevertheless, it seems
obvious that the 571 cases registered in the database could very soon be published in the
second volume of the results, and represent an example and a basis for inspiration for other
information systems about VCF, such as in the unavoidable sector of the fight against VCF
both by NGOs and by the institutions of which the governmental leader is the MDCFCF.
The database is a scientific achievement, which surely can still be improved, but it represents
an undeniable improvement in the field of information systems on violence against women.
G. Recommendations
1) Legal
Penalize domestic violence.
Prohibit marriage through the Fatiha without prior registration in the civil register.
Strengthen the right to housing in case of divorce or separation.
Take legal measures allowing the removal of the abusive spouse or ex-spouse, for
the protection of the woman and the children.
Establish, in consultation with serious associations, regulations enabling associations
to get a status of public interest. Plan for regular funding from the budget of the state
or of the local communities for associations of public interest.
Extend the paid care of children who are wards of the state beyond their coming of
age (until they work or they marry).
2) Social
Facilitate the creation of reception centers for women victim of violence, either run
by associations or public.
Establish hotlines freely available to monitoring centers.
Organize at the local level (APC/province) periodic (quarterly) consultations
between all players, public and private, concerned by the support of women victims
of violence: police, associations, local governments, the management of social action,
services and health professionals, with the following objectives:
Assessing the magnitude of the cases by sharing collected data by the
various participants
Highlighting the problems related to the support of victims.
Allocating the material, human, regulatory and/or organizational means
necessary for the improvement of the situation.
3) Education
Do not overwhelm the boys under the weight of the duty of protection towards girls.
