Guidelines for state reporting under the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa

Pursuant to article 26 of the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa (the Protocol), read together with article 62 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (the African Charter), each state party to the Protocol has agreed to submit every two years, from the day the Protocol comes into force, a report on the legislative, judicial, administrative and other measures taken with a view to ensure full realisation of the rights and freedoms contained in the Protocol.

A state party to the African Charter and the Protocol must submit its report in two parts:
