Conclusion 128. The report on MAPUTO Protocol scores the achievements and bold initiatives undertaken by Rwanda to provide a framework to further the spirit of the African charter and other related conventions that uphold women rights. Such initiatives have been at the helm of curbing down all the inhuman acts that women were experiencing in the past. The government of Rwanda set out an ambitious agenda to implement Maputo Protocol with a range of strategies commencing from an enabled legal framework for the protection of women’s rights as enshrined in the National Constitution (2003) that guarantees equality between men and women in all spheres and provides for remedial affirmative action of at least 30% women representation in decision making organs. 129. In addition, various legislations such as the law on matrimonial regimes, liberalities and succession – allowing equal ownership of property and inheritance rights to women, labour law that prohibits gender-based discrimination and violence in the work place, the law that prevents and punishes Gender-Based Violence (GBV), to mention but a few have been among others a great breakthrough in upholding women rights and in particular, and Maputo Protocol furthers that pass.
