Future Movement new lecture on women and family violence in Akkar

Future movement in Joomeh organised last week a new event in Akkar on women and family violence. The event was held at the Halba municipality and included a lecture by the responsible of organisational matters of the Future Movement Nawal Medallali and was attended by representatives of CSOs as well as women in the region.  
Medallali outlined the various stages of the domestic violence protection bill since its inception in 2007 to date. The lecture also focused on the mobilisations during that period all the way up until the referral of the law to the Cabinet after its revisions by the Parliamentary Commissions and the subsequent change in its name to the "law to protect women and family members from family violence".  Medallali also spoke of the campaign entitled "if you are threatened, do not hesitate" which was recently launched by Kafa and detailed the various memoranda issued by the general directorate of the ISF and the Public Prosecution with regards to the procedure for dealing with women victims of violence and their complaints.
