- Description
- 'This report has attempted to give voice to grassroots women in the complex political and consensus building process that will result in the post-2015 development framework. In doing this ACORD aims to ensure that women’s contributions form the basis of the recommendations and resolutions that will be adopted on gender equality and women’s empowerment. While a number of the grassroots voices portray women as victims, other voices captured herein espouse women’s agency. For ACORD, this balance is very important in the debate on women’s empowerment. The reality of many grassroots women is indeed that of inhibited freedoms. Conceptually, our argument is that women’s demonstrated capacities to lead and make decisions is the basis on which they should be supported as power-dispensers and decision makers at all levels.'

Over the last two decades, Africa has made significant strides in developing progressive frameworks to advance the rights of women.This report is structured around four main sections: the first section offers an overview of the evolution of the socio-economic and political terrain within which women’s rights work has occurred. The second substantive sections summarises the key findings from the 51 state reports and the trends noted across all 51 state reports that were submitted to the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA).
