THE MAPUTO PROTOCOL
72. The full enjoyment of rights guaranteed by the Maputo Protocol is limited by various
factors such as:
The lack of ownership by women of the legal texts on the rights of women in
general, and of the rights of women, in particular.
The non-integration of women as dynamic and inclusive development
stakeholders from the legal perspective;
The lack of optimal harmonisation of the legislation with the provisions of
ratified international conventions;
The lack of specialisation of magistrates and the weakness of the jurisprudence
in the area of human rights in general, and women in particular;
The inadequate capacity of human rights institutions;
The lack of human and financial resources on the part of human rights defence
organisations in general, and of women in particular.
