JEDDAH — A group of law students at King Abdulaziz University has launched a campaign to raise public awareness of abuse protection laws.

The awareness campaign is called, “Don’t abuse me, I’m protected by law”, while its slogan is “If you try to abuse me, the law will deter you.”The students will explain to the public how the law supports all abuse victims and how they can demand their legal rights.

Families will be introduced to the mechanisms they should use to report any form of abuse.

They will also get a chance to acquaint themselves with the penalties the law sets out for abusers.

The campaign has so far received a great deal of public praise from different sections of society. — Okaz/Saudi Gazette

All kind of abusive against women. Mostly domestic violence. I have not read the original article on Okaz but I believe that it is that.
