In 2020 at the time of the pandemic, we had the greatest increase in sexual assaults, only 67 cases at that time, and thus followed from year to year. We have over 350 cases of sexual assault in the last seven years. Over 70 percent of sexual assaults date back to age 16. The relevant and responsible institutions will operate after drafting and approval in a line of institutional response to sexual violations in the country”.

“Victime is the head center of this protocol, and all services will be offered to the victim, all institutions are around the victim while the victim is the attention of institutions in providing services. When we address sexual assaults, we address not only one gender but no matter what gender happens to it. The failure of cases in court and prosecutor in the absence of evidence and evidence because from the start they have not been collected, damaged or eliminated, or taken into account, so this protocol will take into account the preservation of evidence and evidence during the trial process”.

According to her, this protocol will also have the role of the general call at the time of the violation so that evidence cannot be lost, EO reports.

This protocol will also have the role of the general call when the violation does not wait four days, five days because the evidence is lost, but immediately it will report the case, and obligations, the responsibilities of the police, the defenders of the victims, the prosecutor, the judge, the shelters, priors to action and service to the victim. It's a general procedure that specifys in detail who's duty and responsibility and you don't dare the case to fail at the moment when a link to this chain is out of place. Physical, psychic, emotional, sexual, blackmail control all of this will be detailed through protocol procedures”.
