The Eliminate Violence Against Women (EVAW) Commission is an inter-ministerial body whose goal is to identify, analyze and, in cooperation with involved agencies, put efforts to eliminate violence against women at the forefront of government policy development. The Commission was established following consultations between the Ministry of Women's Affairs (MOWA) and over 30 high-level participants at a one-day workshop in 2004 entitled “How to Help the Women Who are Subject to Violence?”.
