Some statistics

Violence against women

Violence against women remains a pervasive issue globally, with far-reaching consequences for victims and societies alike. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 1 in 3 (30%) women worldwide have been subjected to either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime. Most of this violence is intimate partner violence, with almost one-third of women aged 15-49 years who have been in a relationship reporting that they have been subjected to some form of physical and/or sexual violence by their intimate partner

Orphan Statistics in Morocco (2023):

According to a report by BLOOM Charity, there are approximately 65,000 orphans across Morocco. This number underscores the critical need for organizations like the Charity Association Tlat-Loulad, which play a vital role in providing care and support to these vulnerable children.

Impact of the 2023 Earthquake:

The recent earthquake in Morocco has had a devastating impact, particularly on children. UNICEF reports that approximately 100,000 children were affected by the earthquake. This disaster has further exacerbated the challenges faced by orphans, making the work of associations like Tlat-Loulad even more crucial.
