Call for inputs joint study on challenges of litigating women’s and girls’ rights before African Union human rights organs

The ACHPR, through Resolution ACHPR/Res.594 (LXXX) 2024, mandated the development of a Joint Analytical Study to examine the challenges that hinder effective litigation of women’s and girls’ rights before the AU’s human rights organs—the African Commission on Human and Peoples Rights (ACHPR), the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights, and the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child.

In line with the ACHPR’s consultative approach, the draft Study is being published for stakeholder review. Stakeholders are encouraged to provide focused inputs, including comments on specific sections, recommendations for strengthening the analysis, and actionable proposals to enhance access to justice for women and girls at the regional level.
