The European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol) released a report on Friday, revealing the existence of 821 criminal networks threatening security in the European Union.

The report highlighted the danger of criminal networks and how they operate, as they appear to be professional, flexible, destructive, and highly controlled, and explained that these networks do not operate in isolation, but affect the lives of European citizens directly, causing high levels of violence associated with drugs and guerrilla wars in many cities of the Union.

These numbers sparked strong reactions from women’s associations in Morocco, which demanded that legal texts be reconsidered and improved to provide adequate protection for women victims of violence.
