Qatar: Conference on violence against women

The Doha International Institute for Family Studies and Development (DIIFSD) and the Supreme Council for Family Affairs will hold a conference on Impact of Violence Against Women on the Family from November 19.

Violence against Women (VAW) is a universal problem that continues to persist and constitutes a widespread violation of human rights and a real obstacle to peace and development. In February this year, the United Nations Organisation launched a multi-year campaign which runs until 2015 to end violence against women. The campaign hopes to help strengthen political commitments and enhance efforts at all levels.
