Cairo, 26 October 2017. Violence against women occurs globally, irrespective of a country's social or economic status. However, many acts of violence against women go underreported, as various sectors of criminal justice systems worldwide provide women with services that are often poor in quantity and quality with little understanding or hostile attitudes. Eliminating violence against women is an enormous task, which requires the continuous commitment, participation of and coordination among all stakeholders in the justice system. In Egypt, UNODC partners with Egyptian Ministries of Interior and Justice, the Prosecutor General Office, and the National Council for Women to enhance the criminal justice response to cases of violence against women.
