The Future of SOAWR

SOAWR will continue to:

  • Coordinate support at a regional level to ensure a linked-up campaign
  • Advocate nationally and regionally for universal ratification of the protocol
  • Use national, regional, continental and international forums to engage governments in discussions over the ratification and implementation of the protocol
  • Maintain close collaboration with the African Union Commission, the AU Legal Counsel, the Special Rapporteur on the Rights of African Women, the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights, and the African Human and Peoples’ Rights Court.
  • Expand its popularisation campaign by developing materials and programmes for broadcasting on national and community radio stations across the continent.
  • Widely distribute a practioner’s manual on application of the African Women’s Rights Protocol for legal action on promoting women’s rights; and offer relevant training on the same.
