DO YOU KNOW ABOUT OUR EAC CAMPAIGN FOR A GENDER PROTOCOL?

In 2007, EASSI embarked on implementing a campaign that seeks to bring into focus the gendered implications of the Treaty to establish the East African Community and that will result into a Protocol on regional gender equality - “The East African Protocol on Gender Equality (EADGE).  The aim of the campaign is to bring together into one legally binding regional instrument, all the commitments to gender equality (The Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, CEDAW, the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa, and the MDGs. This will enable a regional approach to gender and development in the EAC member States.
