Part VI
Main problems encountered in implementing the
ACHPR
¾ Limited civic education for the whole population at large. There is a need for
more comprehensive civic education programs which include as a priority those
who are responsible for their application.
¾ Although the Government has put into practice a good policy for public health,
which had reached good standards, the legislation has not been updated in
consonance. There is a need for a more comprehensive health education
programs for the population.
¾ Up to the end of 2003 the Police Force was deficient. As a consequence the
security of the citizens was affected. A comprehensive reorganization of the
Police Force is under way with the view to addressing the deficiencies.
¾ Domestic violence, including child abuse, continues to increase although is not
tolerated by the government or the courts. Steps are under way by the
government and civil society to redress the problem.

Article 25 of the Charter
"States Parties shall have the duty to promote and ensure through
teaching, education and publication, the respect of the rights and
freedoms contained in the present Charter".
Human rights information is indeed promoted in Seychelles. It might happen in the
daily life that some rights are more propagated than other does, for example those
relate to education, health care, environment protection and human solidarity are
constantly found, however all of them in a way or another are accessible to the
population.
