There is one common challenge in almost all Africa countries which is multiplicity of laws, the plurality of laws. This means we have statutory laws, we have customary laws and religious laws. And these three regimes function almost parallel in different African countries. In most countries they are recognized, customary religious laws are also equally recognized as statutory laws. So harmonization of laws to meet international standards, to standard to sit by the Convention on the Illumination of Discrimination Against Women is critical. At some point African governments have to sit down and develop a regional framework to sort of harmonize these laws and ensure that women as citizens should have equal rights and equal opportunities in enjoying equality for the law without discrimination based on sex.
