- Gender equality
Type:RecommendationSession:19th session, May 2014Status:AcceptedContents:Continue measures aimed at improving the status of women in society and protect them from all forms of discrimination.ImplementationNational Report:
Para 27) The Ministry of Administrative Development, Labour and Social Affairs was brought into being pursuant to Amiri Decree No. 4 of 2016. The Ministry includes the Family Affairs Department, which is the competent authority for all matters pertaining to women and seeks to enhance the status and role of women in society and to maintain strong and cohesive families in which children are cared for and which abide by sound moral and religious values. The Family Affairs Department also helps to enact national strategies, plans and policies related to women, to provide social welfare and to develop and follow up on social development programmes, in coordination with the competent authorities.
Stakeholder Summary:
Para 18) AI expressed concern over the government’s sweeping reservations. Through lodging these reservations, Qatar has refused to fully recognize equal rights for women, including in matters of personal status laws, and has also stated that it will interpret the term “punishment” in line with the Islamic Shari’a.
Para 21) JS4 also stated that the sweeping reservations made to ICCPR and ICESCRs in respect to gender equality and declarations that appear to undermine the object and purpose of the Covenants, were regrettable, and that the gaps in domestic law and policy and the challenges that many individuals and groups faced in relation to their right to a nationality, detailed below, were all in clear violation of the international obligations of Qatar.
Para 28) According to AI, laws that discriminate against women came particularly to the fore in the context of the Gulf crisis that began in June 2017, when some governments severely restricted ties with Qatar as part of a political dispute. In line with citizenship and family laws across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), the children of Qatari mothers and non-Qatari fathers are not automatically entitled to citizenship. So when some countries called their nationals back from Qatar and prevented Qatari nationals from entering their territory many families were split up.
Para 51) ODVV stated that Qatar women faced discrimination in law and practice, and that personal status laws continued to discriminate against women in relation to marriage, divorce, inheritance, child custody, nationality and freedom of movement.
Para 52) AI stated that in Qatar, women continued to face discrimination in law and practice. Family law discriminates against women, including by making it much harder for women to seek a divorce than for men, and placing women at a severe economic disadvantage if they seek a divorce or if their husbands leave them.

- Violence against women / gender-based violence
Type:RecommendationSession:19th session, May 2014Status:AcceptedContents:Strengthen efforts to prevent violence against women and ensure the accountability of all perpetrators while ensuring victims are provided with adequate redress, reparations and access to full rehabilitation.ImplementationNational Report:
Para 23) … Similarly, there was a decline in the number of cases of domestic violence in 2015 with respect to the preceding year, after the phenomenon had taken an upward trend in the years since 2008.
Para 30) With regard to recommendations related to combating domestic violence and in addition to the legislative measures in that regard already adopted by the State, Qatar has continued its policy of combating all forms of domestic violence against women and children, including violence against domestic workers. The Hamad Medical Corporation has adopted policies to address the problem of violence against women and imposes an obligation on medical staff to report suspected cases of violence.
Para 31) The protective role of the Ministry of the Interior towards victims of domestic violence is exercised by the community police. This consists in providing support and assistance through the Ministry’s Social Support Department and, in coordination with the competent judicial authorities, empowering victims to gain access to justice in order to ensure that perpetrators are held accountable. The Ministry provides a hotline service to ensure the authorities can intervene early to block and prevent violence against women and, in coordination with the Family Court, it has established a unit within the Social Support Department for the implementation of judicial rulings in cases of domestic violence.
Para 32) Since members of regional communities are more likely to be familiar with cases in which families are exposed to domestic violence, the Community Police Department of the Ministry of the Interior, in coordination with the security services, has implemented a police council regional service programme.
Para 33) The Community Police Department has organized a number of awareness-raising activities to prevent violence in schools. These include participation in events and in research projects aimed at addressing the general situation of women.
Para 34) The Community Police Department takes various measures to protect women. These include: enforcement of Family Court rulings; providing social services for cases as they arise; coordinating action by citizens, civil society institutions and specialized centres; facilitating the provision of advisory services; organizing awareness-raising campaigns; encouraging the peaceful resolution of family disputes; bolstering oversight, policing and community patrols in residential areas; supporting studies and programmes on the protection of women; and monitoring cases submitted by security departments and other bodies.
Para 35) In June 2015, Qatar amended the statutes of the Social Protection and Rehabilitation Centre (formerly the Qatari Institution for Social Protection and Rehabilitation), thereby strengthening the system of social protection and rehabilitation for vulnerable categories in Qatar, such as victims of violence and family breakdown, especially women and children. It should be noted that the Centre is a private establishment of public utility and is subject to the provisions of Decree-Law No. 21 of 2006 on private establishments of public utility, as amended.
Para 36) The Social Protection and Rehabilitation Centre acts to achieve its objectives and fulfil its functions, which include providing temporary shelter to vulnerable categories, running a hotline to receive communications relating to such categories and offering social, psychological and legal advice, as well as legal assistance to those who cannot otherwise afford it. In addition, the Centre implements special programmes aimed at empowering and rehabilitating victims of violence and family breakdown, especially women and children, and reintegrating them into the community. It also seeks to raise women’s awareness of their rights and duties and strengthen their self-confidence and capacities. To that end, it holds seminars and training courses and publishes guidance booklets and periodicals relevant to the objectives and mandate of the Centre.
Para 37) The Social Protection and Rehabilitation Centre is open to all women and children who are victims of violence. The Centre offers them support of many kinds in the form of integrated protection, reintegration and care, irrespective of the nationality of the victim, whether Qatari or non-Qatari.
Stakeholder Summary:
Para 50) Despite promises in recent years by the government, AI noted that there was still no law criminalizing domestic violence. Victims instead have to make general complaints of physical or sexual abuse under the Penal Code, which does not provide sufficient protection for domestic violence.
