MRA Mobilising for Rights Associates worked in collaboration with Association Amal pour la Femme et le Développement (El Hajeb), Fédération des Ligues des Droits des Femmes (Ouarzazate), Anaouat pour femme et enfant (Chichaoua), and Tafiil Al Moubadarat (Taza) on this report.

This action research aims to produce a knowledge base on SVAW in Morocco and promote State accountability for its response. It included interviews with women who had been subjected to sexual violence, group discussions, an online survey, case file reviews, and public actors in the law enforcement, justice and health care sectors, with 1021 participants from 41 diverse sites across the country.

This report builds on women’s experiences of sexual violence, its impact on their lives and their reactions, responses of women’s entourage, responses of public actors-law enforcement, justice and health systems, to finally provide with their recommendations.
