Government of Monaco
The Committee for the Promotion and Protection of Women’s Rights has just published its second annual activity report. A chance to see what changes were made in the Principality last year, and the work to be done in 2021.
Women’s rights are continuing to progress in Monaco, especially since the creation of the Committee for the Promotion and Protection of Women’s rights. Some of their most important work from 2020 includes: an increase in training for professionals on how to receive victims of violence, the publication of the first IMSEE report (Monaco’s Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies) on violence against women, stronger laws regarding sexual assault and awareness campaigns led on the 8 March (International Women’s Day) and 25 November.
