Morocco sets up protection units against child sexual abuse

Rabat - Morocco has set up units to protect children against sexual abuse and mistreatment, Social Development, Family and Solidarity Minister said on Wednesday.

   Speaking at a House of Representatives' question time, Nouzha Skalli said the units' main goal is to provide the care necessary for children who endured violence and ensure coordination between the government departments and associations working in the field.

   Skalli stressed that her department collaborates with the public institutions to upgrade the institutions of social welfare and devise a strategy to fight violence against children, through training and awareness-raising campaigns and reinforcing the centres taking care of those children.

   She also recalled the measures taken to assist the girls victims of sexual assault at the Salé orphanage.
