The article highlights the persistent issue of violence against women in Bosnia and Herzegovina, emphasizing the need for systemic protection and societal change. It discusses the challenges faced by survivors like Sanela and Maida, who have sought help after enduring years of abuse.

Political figures like Tanja Vukomanović and Alma Kratina advocate for stronger legal measures and public awareness to combat domestic violence. The article underscores the critical role of NGOs in providing support and the need for continuous advocacy to achieve gender equality and safety for women.

Morocco: The annulment of the conviction of a man who raped his wife creates controversy

23 Oct 2024  |  fr.allafrica.com  |  French  |  Domestic Violence

In Morocco, feminist groups and women's rights activists are outraged by the Supreme Court's decision to annul the country's first-ever marital rape conviction. The 2019 conviction by the Tangier Court of Appeal was seen as a landmark ruling. Activists, including Fouzia Yassine from the Democratic Association of Moroccan Women, express disappointment, viewing the decision as a setback in the fight for the recognition of marital rape. Despite the 2018 law against violence towards women, activists argue it falls short, as the penal code still does not criminalize marital rape. A 2019 national survey revealed that over half of Moroccan women experienced violence in the previous year.
