WAY FORWARD States should fix a new deadline to achieve full ratification and organize continental and regional campaigns for ratification. The PAP and National Parliaments should be involved in the campaigns. Academia should contribute to the popularization of the Protocol. The CSOs have an important role to play in popularizing the Protocol especially at the grassroots and assisting victims in prosecuting their rights. States that have ratified should take urgent measures to domesticate the Protocol as we celebrate the Year 2016, as the year for human rights in Africa with particular focus on the rights of women, women who constitute more than 50% of the population in most countries should be empowered if sustainable development must be achieve.
