Mauritania: Civil society organizations are calling for the adoption of a law to punish acts of violence based on social gender.

In the face of a series of sexual assaults that have provoked widespread resentment in Mauritania in recent weeks, civil society organizations have called for the adoption of a law in the country to punish acts of violence based on social nature. Several rape cases, particularly those involving two seven and four-year-old children, have reigned the debate on the need to punish sexual offences in this Islamic Republic, where there is no special law dealing with such attacks, with Ms. Amina Zidan, a journalist with human rights from Nouakchottt.
