the regular building of the capacities of NGOs, paralegals, officials of listening
centres and media professionals to take into account GBV in their community
action programmes;
the capacity building for actors involved in the fight against violence against
children, especially girls (health professionals, social workers, judicial police
officers, community child protection officers).
556. In addition to the information provided in 3.2.1 to 3.2.6, other good practices in
combating violence against women and girls are worth mentioning.
560. From a legal perspective, the 2012 Persons and Family Code, some articles of
which were revised in November 2014, takes into account violence against women in
several of its provisions, including Articles 53, 82, 98 and 411.
561. At the institutional level, there is also the establishment of a National Advisory
Council for Children to promote the participation of children in combating violence
against them, including trafficking.
562. As practical measures, it is also necessary to mention the study on gender-based
violence carried out in 2010, which gives an overview of the extent of the
phenomenon in our communities.
563. Other efforts were made at the strategic and programming level. They concern:
the revision and adoption, in June 2012, of the national strategy against GBV
that takes into account new data such as recommendations from certain studies

the development and implementation of the multisectoral national action plan
for the prevention and implementation of a GBV monitoring framework;

violence against women and girls;
the development and implementation of the national programme to combat
early pregnancies and marriages of girls;
the development of programmes and training curricula incorporating issues
