Regional Report on the 2024 Regional Index on Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) in the Middle East and North Africa
This report provides a comprehensive regional assessment of laws, policies, and services addressing violence against women and girls (VAWG) across nine countries in the Middle East and North Africa.
Using the Regional Index on VAWG as a monitoring and analytical tool, the report measures progress and main gaps across seven key categories: legal frameworks, institutional procedures, State-funded services, data systems, preventive programmes, professional capacity of first responders, and national and regional coordination mechanisms. The report aims to support evidence-based policymaking, strengthen accountability, and guide reform and cooperation efforts to eliminate all forms of VAWG.
The national reports on 2024 Regional Index on VAWG of Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Syria and Tunisia are available on the Regional Observatory on VAWG. The Regional Observatory on VAWG is hosted by EuroMed Feminist Initiative in is regional office in Amman.

“All Syrian women want a clear and strong role for civil society and for women activists, feminists and women organizations. They want social renewal leading to reconciliation, social cohesion and a just social contract.”
"Change is possible, and the effort of the third VAWG campaign, along with the two previous campaigns, is key to raise awareness and information on access to comprehensive services."
“Their empowerment is not only a matter of rights, but a cornerstone of sustainable recovery.”
"Violence against women and girls should be a priority for governments as well as the international community, to support local initiatives and activists to continue their work."
"We believe that we can build a society where women and girls are given the opportunity to achieve a future free from violence and fear, where everyone lives in safety and dignity."
