Abstract

Gender-based violence (GBV) is a pervasive issue affecting domestic workers in Southern African coastal cities, including Morocco. A comparative study using mixed-methods approach, including surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions with participants from three different cities in Morocco. The findings indicate that while all programmes aimed to reduce GBV, the Moroccan programme showed a significant reduction of 20% in reported incidents over two years compared to baseline levels. This study provides evidence for effective GBV prevention strategies tailored to local contexts. Policy makers should consider implementing similar programmes with additional support mechanisms and follow-up evaluations.
