Soutenir la résilience et la réinsertion des femmes ayant subi des violences en Afrique du Nord
KARAMA
Worldwide, one woman in three suffers violence in her lifetime. Sometimes invisible and often taboo, the after-effects of violence are numerous (physical, economic, psychosocial, procreative and sexual), plunging victims into extreme vulnerability. Combined with other discriminations (class, origin, race [...]) and a lack of adequate public services, women struggle to find the resources to escape this vicious circle.
These constraints common to humanity do not spare southern Mediterranean countries despite social movements and changes in legislation. Initiated in 2018, the Karama project supports several multidisciplinary schemes to accompany women at every stage of their journey (accommodation, listening, psychological, legal, administrative support and access to healthcare). They also have access to vocational training and support for their (re)integration, necessary for real individual emancipation.
As their trajectories take place in an environment that trivializes violence, our partners also raise public awareness. At the same time, they carry out preventive actions aimed at governmental and/or associative players involved, directly or indirectly, in their care.
