For example, eight regional consultations and two national consultations were organized and led to the signing of commitments by these different opinion leaders to become more involved or take initiatives to eradicate traditional practices harmful to children.
Para 81) Other action has been taken:
- Implementation of the National Strategy to Combat Gender-Based Violence;
- Establishment of a special fund for the judicial and medical care of victims of sexual violence with the support of partners;
