Rabat- Morocco’s Ministry of Health and Social Protection and the NGO “Touche pas à mon enfant” (Don’t touch my child) signed a partnership agreement on Friday in Rabat to improve healthcare services and provide aid to children who have been subjected to abuse and different forms of violence.
The agreement was signed by the Minister of Health and Social Protection, Khalid Ait Taleb, and Najat Anwar, the president of “Touche pas à mon enfant.”
Set to be implemented over three years, the agreement highlights the importance of providing better care and services for children victims of violence as they are one of society’s most vulnerable groups. It also stresses the need of coordinating the efforts of health professionals at the national and local levels to protect children against abuse, according to a press release.
To ensure that the public and health professionals are aware of the many types of violence against children, committees will be established to monitor the implementation of this agreement at the territorial level.
As part of the agreement, the Ministry of Health has pledged to mobilize more efforts to inform the public and health professionals about the aid and care services it provides for monitoring and preventing violence against children.
