This empowering session deepened participants’ understanding of the legal and rights-based dimensions of gender equality and protection through rich discussions and expert facilitation.

Key highlights included: Overview of National Laws and Policies: Gender laws, anti-GBV acts, child protection, and consent laws. Additionally, there were discussions on International and Regional Instruments which enabled a deep dive into CEDAW, the Maputo Protocol, and UN conventions safeguarding women and girls.

Further Rights-Based Perspective were discussed: Reinforcing that women’s and girls’ rights are human rights. While, Access to Justice discussion explored pathways for survivors to seek legal redress through police, courts, and legal aid.

Moreover, Gaps and Challenges were juxtaposed: Identifying barriers such as stigma, corruption, and harmful cultural norms that hinder justice. While, practical examples and case studies are shared including local victories and community-driven legal interventions inspiring real change.

We applaud our participants for their commitment to learning, advocacy, and collective action toward a just and equitable society.

Together, we are building a future where laws protect, justice prevails, and every woman and girl lives free from violence.
