    Fighting the taboo of gender violence

    No consta como delito en su código penal ni existe un protocolo de actuación de asistencia. La violencia de género en Guinea Conakry es tratada como cualquier otro delito de violencia y sólo se contemplan los casos de violencia física. No hay contemplaciones para la psicológica. Un planteamiento que procede de los 24 años de gobierno del fallecido Lansana Conté y del régimen militar que lo sucedió hasta 2011. Hoy, esta problemática parece colarse entre las prioridades del actual Gobierno que está desarrollando un proyecto financiado por la Comisión Europea (CE), y en el que colabora la FIIAPP, para propiciar la asistencia a las víctimas de violencia de género así como para potenciar la seguridad del país y mejorar la percepción que tiene la población sobre la policía nacional.It's not considered a crime in the criminal code, and there's no assistance action protocol.

An approach that comes from the 24 years of rule by the late Lansana Conté and the military regime that succeeded him and held power until 2011. Today this problem seems to be finding its way into the priorities of the current government, which is developing a project funded by the European Commission (EC), in which the FIIAPP is collaborating, to provide assistance to victims of gender violence, strengthen security in the country and improve the public's perception of the national police force.

    Eighty-seven percent of women in Guinea Conakry, in other words eight in every  ten, suffer conjugal and domestic violence in this African country, according to the results of a survey released by the National Office for the Promotion of Women and Gender. They typically do not report it. These w...
