Minister of Interior Mohamed Ibrahim issued a decision on Saturday to create a violence-against-women department within the ministry.
The department would be part of the human rights sector within the Interior Ministry. Police officers competent in the field of women’s issues would be chosen for the new department, reported state-owned news agency MENA.
Mohamed Al-Meleigy, the office head of the deputy minister of interior for human rights, said the establishment of the department was instigated by the country’s growing sexual harassment phenomenon.
