The Moroccan Association for Victims’ Rights (AMDV) held a meeting Wednesday in Rabat with members of the diplomatic corps accredited to the Kingdom during which it surveyed the actions it takes in defense of victims of sexual assault, by providing them with judicial, psychological and moral support. The association seeks to combat the violation of the victims’ rights and to support them at the judicial level, by offering them psychological and moral support and fighting anything that can undermine their dignity, she said. The association also endeavors to establish drop-in centers for victims to break the taboos on this type of crime, she said. There is also a manipulation by some foreign parties, in an attempt to pressure the judiciary and undermine the rule of law and institutions, she said. She expressed her satisfaction with the creation of this association in order to provide the necessary moral support to victims of this kind of aggression.
