2023
Social protection is universal and sustainable, and social, local, regional and gender inequalities are reduced to leave no one behind.
In 2023, significant progress was made towards the achievement of Outcome 2.1 with stakeholders, such as the Office of the Public Prosecutor (OPP), the General Directorate for National Security (police forces), the Gendarmerie Royale, the National Mutual Aid, the Ministry of Health and Social Protection, the Ministry of Justice, High Commissioner for Planning, Civil Society Organizations and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs strengthening their commitment to providing quality services for WSV through increased capacity building and improved intersectoral coordination.
Stakeholders strengthened intersectoral coordination through the monitoring and evaluation of the territorial protocol for providing coordinated services to WSV, with UNW support. Institutional representatives from the Office of the Public Prosecutor / tribunals; the Ministry of Health / hospitals; the National Women’s Machinery / housing centres for WSV; the police forces; and Royal Guard (Gendarmerie Royale) / specialized units conducted self-assessments on the implementation of the protocol at institutional level. UN Women convened these representatives and supported these assessments to strengthen the culture of monitoring and evaluation of essential services provision. This process will inform future regional evaluations on the quality of the service provision for WSV for a better inter-sectoral coordination and fosters a culture of self-assessment to improve quality of provided services.
In 2023, the National Police VAW unit chiefs harmonized their approach and understanding of different forms of gender-based violence and their specificities, as well as EVAWG national and international legal frameworks, standards and norms of support services for women and girls, survivors of violence (listening, counselling, referral systems).
Security sector entities providing support to women survivors of violence (Ministry of Interior, National Police, Gendarmerie Royale) were strengthened their capacity and coordination through exchange of knowledge and experience within the framework of 2 exchange visits to Belgium (co-organized with ENABEL) and Canada. Both missions were opportunities to reflect on challenges in service provision to WVV and on best practices, but also to discuss collaboration on knowledge sharing and skills transfer.
The Ministry of Health and Social Protection strengthened intra and inter sectoral coordination on EVAW in coordination with UN Women Morocco CO. The ministry finalized its National Strategy for WVV in 2023, aiming to improve coordination between the different health departments and all the institutional stakeholders listed in Law 103.13. The strategy designed with the support of a consultant mobilized by UNW was presented and disseminated by the Population Department to health professionals and practitioners at national and local levels.
Finally, the Ministry of Justice launched a feasibility study for the implementation of a pilot one-stop center to provide integrated support and assistance for women survivors of violence in the regions of Rabat-Salé-Kénitra and Fes-Meknes, contributing to the significant improvement of intersectoral coordination. UN Women Morocco contributed to this study as a as a joint initiative with UNFPA.
Civil society advocacy efforts to promote prevention and non-acceptation of VAWG, as well as the protection of women survivors of violence and criminalization of authors of violence were ongoing initiatives in the reporting period. In 2023, 20,106 women, men, boys and girls in marginalized areas (Al Haouz area) enhanced their knowledge on women’s and girls’ rights to a life free from all forms of violence and discriminations, including child marriage, namely facilitated through the awareness-raising campaign conducted by Ytto Foundation. This social caravan contributed to civil society local response to the earthquake’s victims which exacerbated the vulnerability of women and girls.
In the absence of a national VAW prevention strategy, civil society continues to play a strong and paramount role of defending women’s rights. In 2023, civil society organizations developed and disseminated a memorandum to reform the Code of Criminal Procedure, with UN Women’s support. This tool advocates for a Code that protects survivors from double victimization and discriminations and criminalize perpetrators of gender-based violence. Grassroots organizations increased social mobilization to accompany advocacy efforts, awareness-raising initiatives such as the 16 Days of Activism Campaign under the tagline #No_excuse.
The gender audit that UN Women launched for the Ministry of Youth, Communication and Culture led to the development by international expert mobilized by UNW and the Ministry’s gender unit of a roadmap and recommendations by . Among approved recommendations is the launch of a broad awareness-raising initiative to inform all staff members about protocols to implement to end sexual harassment in the workplace and to inform on rights and support provisions for survivors of gender-based violence in the workplace. The gender audit also paves the way for a strengthened coordination on VAWG prevention with the Ministry of Youth, Communication and Culture through promotion of a gender equality culture within the youth and positive masculinities.
