The Ministry of Family and Promotion of Women created a Family Counselling Centre in 2000, which provides legal assistance to the public, educating and informing them on their rights, and giving psycho-social assistance to victims of violence.

In February 2001, a cooperation agreement was signed between the Lawyers’ Association of Angola and the Ministry of Family and Promotion of Women with the aim of assigning Lawyers to the Family Counselling Centre in order to provide legal assistance to victims of violence or persons directly and indirectly involved. This work of attending to the victims of violence is also done at the level of all provinces of the country.
