Breaking the Silence: Addressing Women’s Violence Cases

To raise awareness against Gender-Based Violence (GBV), IWC of
Alexandria, headed by Mrs. Mona El- Hakeem visited the Abused Women Care
Centre on Wednesday, the 27th of November, in the presence of the Vice
Chairman Dr. Mervat El Azzouni and some club members. The attendees
included 35 women who were abuse survivors.
Dr. Amel El-Ghitany, a consultant of Neuropsychiatry, a member of the
club, and the district 95 Webmaster, reviewed the different types of
violence, its causes, and repercussions on the psychological and mental
state, its societal harmful effects, and the different methods of
treatment. Finally, some memorial photos were taken, and the Centre was
inspected for what it provides in terms of work opportunities through
learning some handcrafts.
