SOAWR Statement to the 73rd Ordinary Session of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights

In November 2022, on behalf of the SOAWR Coalition, member organisation Alliances for Africa (observer status number 235) submitted a statement to the 73rd Ordinary Session of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR).

The statement calls upon the Commission to:

  • address challenges and barriers relating to Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR)
  • continue to utilise its recently published guidelines on shadow reporting on the Maputo Protocol
  • address the disproportionate effect that the COVID-19 pandemic, the proliferation of armed conflict and an unprecedented rise in unconstitutional changes of government are having on women
  • urge the remaining 12 African Union Member States to ratify the Maputo Protocol
  • increase engagement on the implementation of the Maputo Protocol in the other 43 Member States
