time to manage to convince women to break the silence, and to make them admit that a human right is denied to them. It is necessary to convince victims that it is not about betraying a husband, brother, or any other perpetrator, but rather to become aware of the gravity of their harmful actions, not only for the victim, but also for the family and for the society, understanding that the violence against women is equally a problem of public health. Fortunately, compared to the level of violence registered in numerous countries, Algeria sees a relatively weak prevalence of this phenomenon, which is moreover foreign to our habits. The religion protects women and specifically the mother: “paradise is located under the feet of the mother”. In front of this phenomenon, which persists despite numerous efforts deployed at national and international level, the fight against diverse forms of violence against women remains a concern that has become a global priority. In February 2008, the Secretary General of the United Nations launched a campaign for the elimination of violence against women, which will continue until 2015, in order to coincide with the end of term of the Millennium Development Goals. With its participation in the revision of this document as well as the elaboration of a draft resolution concerning a series of concrete measures on the prevention of crime in the field of violence against women in March 2009 in Bangkok, Algeria has clearly displayed its willingness to intensify the fight against all forms of violence against women. In 2009, in the framework of the national strategy for combatting violence against women, the State secretary responsible for the family and the feminine condition has set up an institutional information system on violence against women. The program of this information system was done in consultation between the abovementioned State seretary, the National Safety, the national gendarmerie and the associative movement (associations). The Plan of Communication and Awareness Raising for the Fight against Violence against Women (PCSLVF) that allows to ‘ask for safeguards’ just came into being at the level of this ministry. Regarding the associative movement, the participants of a meeting on violence against women organized by the management of the social action of the province of Tizi-Ouzou launched an appeal for the creation of a national fund for the support of divorced women.
