The Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights on Women's Rights grew out of a recognition that the African Unions Charter does not adequately address issues that affect women. The Protocol is arguably one of Africa's most ground-breaking and progressive rights instruments for gender equality, setting out a comprehensive legal framework providing for a broad range of womens social and economic rights, such as the reproductive right to abortion, and the prohibition of genital mutilation. By January 2006 17 African countries have ratified this protocol and 25 countries have signed it but not ratified it yet.
