Decree No. 119 of 2014 on Addressing the Conditions of Victims of Sexual Violence

In 2014, the Council of Ministers issued the decree No. 119 to provide benefits and support to victims of sexual violence during al-Gaddafi’s era and the Liberation War (between February 15 to October 23, 2011). These include mental and physical healthcare, monthly pensions for children of victimized women, shelters for homeless women or those ostracized by their families, and priority in employment (Article 3). The decree also mandates the anonymization of sensitive information related to children born from rape and their biological mothers to protect them from social stigma.
