Prevention of Domestic Violence Act of 1991 (in Arabic)
On International Women`s Day in March 2007, Kayan published excerpts of the" Prevention of Domestic Violence Act "of 1991 in Arabic and distributed 2000 leaflets to Arab women in social welfare offices, universities, schools, and other public places. This is the first publication of the legislation in Arabic. Due to the lack of any information on the issue in Arabic, Kayan saw the need to produce this publication in order to inform Arab women about their legal rights against domestic violence in their own language. The "Prevention of Domestic Violence Act" is designed to offer fast and unintrusive assistance to women in emergencies. Women can apply to family courts for protective orders on their own, without the need to consult a lawyer first.
This brochure informs Arab women about the law surrounding two important social security entitlements provided by the National Insurance Institute: security income and alimony. The brochure introduces women to the conditions under which these allowances can be obtained.
