| 520 | |a In December 2015, Algeria's parliament amended the penal code to criminalize some forms of domestic violence. However, authorities are failing to prevent violence, provide adequate protection and services to survivors of domestic violence, and prosecute their abusers. Based on over 40 interviews, including 20 survivors of domestic violence, this report documents how survivors face an uphill struggle to escape their plight, due to a lack of police response, economic dependence on their abusers, family pressure to reconcile, and a shortage of adequate shelter or assistance for them. Survivors described how their husbands or partners broke their teeth or limbs, caused concussions and skull fractures, and beat them while pregnant. They also described how their husbands threatened to kill them, stopped them from working, and prevented them from visiting friends or family. While the amendments to the penal code are an important step forward, comprehensive legislation is still needed to prevent such violence by changing attitudes through education programs, protect victims and, ensure that acts of violence are effectively investigated and punished. | ||
