Tunisia-Opening of 1st shelter for women victims of violence in Medenine

On the sidelines of a working visit to the governorate of Medenine, Minister of Family Amel Belhaj Moussa took part the inauguration of the “El Amen” center for housing women victims of violence.

This center, being the first in Medenine and the 13th nationwide, stresses the government’s commitment to addressing the issue of violence against women. With a capacity of 10 beds, the “El Amen” center offers comprehensive care services to its locals, which include reception, listening, guidance, support, as well as medical and psychological monitoring.

This initiative not only provides a safe haven for women and their children who are victims of violence but also represents a critical expansion of the social support network available to these vulnerable populations within the country.
