African Women’s Rights Protocol

The African Women’s Rights Protocol is a legal framework adopted by the African Union to promote gender equality and protect women's rights across Africa. It aims to eliminate discrimination, violence, and harmful practices against women, ensuring their access to education, health, and justice. The protocol encourages governments to create policies that empower women economically, politically, and socially. By ratifying this agreement, countries commit to advancing women's rights and achieving greater gender equity, thereby fostering sustainable development and social justice continent-wide.
