Rabat – The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), and the Moroccan House of Representatives are set to host a study meeting on Tuesday, focusing on the implementation of Law No. 103.13, aiming to combat violence against women.
According to a statement from Morocco’s parliament, the meeting will serve as a platform for presenting and discussing various perspectives, perceptions, and approaches concerning the current status of the law’s implementation.
The meeting also seeks to identify legal, regulatory, and practical challenges associated with its enforcement while exploring potential and appropriate strategies, mechanisms, and solutions to overcome said obstacles.
The event will be held in the presence of representatives from diverse political factions within the House of Representatives, ministerial departments, and constitutional institutions directly involved in the application of the law.
In addition, international partners, professors, experts in the field, representatives of women’s sections of political parties, and civil society advocates will also be part of the deliberations.
The primary objective of this study meeting is to enrich the ongoing public discourse surrounding the evaluation process of Law No. 103.13.
Law No. 103.13, enacted as part of Morocco’s efforts to combat gender-based violence, addresses critical issues affecting women’s safety and well-being.
The event coincides with the news of the government revising the current family code. Last month, King Mohammed VI instructed the Head of Government Aziz Akhannouch to ensure the revision of Morocco’s family code.
In a letter, the King urged the government to “closely involve relevant bodies directly concerned with this subject, including the Supreme Scientific Council, the National Council for Human Rights, and the governmental authority responsible for solidarity, social integration, and family affairs.”
