المؤشر الإقليمي - مكافحة العنف ضد النساء والفتيات Regional Index - Combating violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG)

The overall objective of the regional index is to provide a global documentation on laws, public policies and services related to VAWG and WPSA, that allows a diagnosis of the state of legislation and tools put in place to address VAWG in the South Mediterranean.

This index provides policy makers with meaningful summary of complex data to support informed decisions and actions for the implementation of the 4th UfM Ministerial Declaration on Strengthening the Role of Women in Society, in the area of combatting all forms of VAWG, WPSA and PVE.

It constitutes a data bank that will allow researchers to have a quick overview of the status of women in the countries concerned and carry out comparative studies. The index also enables women’s rights activists to follow up where gaps and weaknesses lie and thus make targeted and updated advocacy. Furthermore, the index provides a global picture for the international community on the progress and achievements made in each country in terms of VAWG, WPSA, and PVE.
