The directory provides all necessary information in Arabic, French and English, and includes various data about 415 governmental and non-governmental institutions, international and regional organizations and networks working in the field of anti-gender-based violence. It also provides data and services for battered women or survivors of violence in 19 Arab countries (Jordan, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Tunisia, Algeria, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Iraq, Palestine, Qatar, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Mauritania and Yemen).

The guide reflects the richness, the diversity of experiences, the dynamics and the different ways used to deal with the issue of violence against women in Arab countries, including advocacy, research, sensitization campaigns, in addition to accommodation and hosting services, counseling, legal support, psychological and social assistance. This guide also reflects differences between Arab countries, which paves the way for comparison and research.
