Gender based violence in Morocco

Gender based violence (GBV) is one of the categories of violation of human rights that is most widespread in the world. It is not specific neither to a society, nor to a culture nor a specific political or economic system. It is essentially dominant in patriarchal societies and power structures that are dominated by men who perpetrate violence against women, children and SPECIALPLUS people. This problem manifests at multiple levels: societal, economic, education, development, public health, etc.

The main objectives of this study are:

• To illustrate the various forms of GBV that exist in Morocco as well as ways in which they are dealt with by the key actors in the fight against GBV.
• To enrich the current documentation on GBV in Morocco.
• To orient future advocacy actions towards the less evoked forms of violence and intervention axes that have for long been ignored.
• To create a network that allows exchange and cooperation between the different actors that operate on GBV in Morocco
