Summary: 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. I: Context for the ratificitation of the Protocol: Karoline Kemp: General situation of women in Africa (S. 3); Rita Anyumba: Instruments of women's rights (S. 9); II. The Protocol comes into force: Faiza Jama Mohamed: African Union Protocol on the rights of women in Africa: the SOAWR campaign (S. 14); Roselynn Musa: Provisions of the Protocol (S. 19); III. Breathing life into the Protocol: challenges for implemention: Sarah Mukasa: Domesticating the Protokol (S. 28); Mary Wandia: Institutionalising strategies for the Protocol (S. 34); Mary Rusimbi: Financing the Protocol: considerations for influencing budgets from experiences in Tanzania (S. 38); Loga Virahsawmy, Rotimi Sankore: Integrating the Protocol and regional instruments: the case of SADC (S. 47); Ibrahima Kane: Harmonising the Protocol with national legal systems (S. 51); Sibongile Ndashe: Strategic litigation: a tool for domesticating the Protocol? (S. 60); Anne Atieno Amadi: The case for alternative dispute resolution and negotiation as strategies for domestication of international human rights instruments (S. 71); IV: The Protocol and its implications for women in conflict and with HIV/Aids: Amie Joof-Cole: Applying the Protocol to women in conflict situations (S. 80); Elize Delport: HIV/Aids - a challenge to successful implementation (S. 86); Appendices
