Anti-Violence Campaign Launched in Morocco
2004-12-05
Recently, an awareness campaign against marital violence was launched in Morocco by the State Council for the Family. The campaign's main operation method is night slots on prime-time Moroccan television that depict violence against women and the negative impact it has on children.
A second part of the campaign will reinforce legal mechanisms

The campaign hopes the combination of education and legal actions will assuage the problem. (albawaba.com)
