In commemoration of the 20th Anniversary of the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa (Maputo Protocol), Equality Now took on a special initiative to gather statements from presidents, prime ministers, and ministers of the first countries that ratified the Maputo Protocol.
By collecting these diverse perspectives in the Maputo Protocol Celebration Memoir, we celebrate the significance of the Maputo Protocol’s 20-year journey while amplifying the voices of established and emerging leaders working towards women’s rights and gender equality on the continent.
