2016

The Regulation on Shelters of 2016 states: the shelter ensures protection and temporary accommodation to the female beneficiary until her problem is resolved or she is no longer in danger. It also provides social care, living, psychological, health, extension, cultural and legal services. A database of beneficiaries is established. The shelter welcomes girls at risk and provides them with accommodation, food, clothing and support services, training and rehabilitation programmes, physical and psychological recovery, health and counselling, legal assistance, and solves their problems in accordance with human rights principles. They also provide suitable job opportunities, entertainment and psychological well-being programmes. Female beneficiaries are not received forcibly, they have to enter the shelter of their own volition. In 2018, the Dar Amina shelter was opened to receive women and girls at risk. It has a capacity to accommodate 30 beneficiaries. Up to date, 19 cases have been transferred to this shelter. Three females at risk were transferred to their families after interventions and safe reintegration. Arrangements are under way with the Ministry of the Interior to receive 18 female administrative detainees at the shelter.
