Brief Description
Actions taken by the National Council for Family Affairs to end violence against women in 2017, under the supervision of the National Team for Family Protection from Domestic Violence, in cooperation with UNICEF, UNHCR and UNFPA include the preparation of the following manuals:
1) Handbook on Unified National Action for the Prevention of and Response to Gender-Based Violence, Domestic Violence and Violence against Children; Training Manual on Procedures published in both Arabic and English, to be a reference for all employees in all institutions on mechanisms for dealing with cases of domestic violence, specifying the policies and guidelines that explain the relationship and mechanisms to deal with cases of violence, in general, and procedures for dealing with cases of domestic violence, in particular. Among the most important outputs of this project, are the courses for training trainers. The programme included 70 hours of courses for employees of institutions (governmental and non-governmental) on the protection of the family. The output was a national training team, whose members will be the nucleus of training within their institutions on these procedures. Twenty (20) male and female trainees followed the courses.
2) A Guide to Accreditation and Quality Control Standards for Domestic Violence Services, developed in partnership with national governmental and non-governmental institutions concerned, to strengthen their capacity in providing services to domestic violence cases on the methodologies of applying these standards at the institutional level and to place them within the institutional framework. Outputs of this project include: training of the persons concerned by the application of the standards. Three training courses were organized in which 60 trainees participated.
