DIGNITY is an independent human rights and development organization. Their vision is a world free of torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment.

This study was mandated by DIGNITY and has been conducted from January to October 2024. It aimed to map and structure the different perceptions of urban violence in the municipalities of Ariana Ville, Soukra, Ettadhamen and El Mnihla, building on the previous study on Raoued, with a focus on civil society, the municipality and the police’s understanding of urban violence. A special focus has been given to the different stakeholders’ understanding of why it does happen and what is their role in preventing and/or mitigating it.
