Week # 3

I have read an article about gender equality in Southern Africa.The article is from AllAfrica.com, it is titled "Southern Africa: SADC Leaders Urged to Sign Into Gender Protocol" and it is written by Thato Chwaane on May 26,2008.
They are trying to get the heads of states to sign the South African Devolopment Community Protocol on Gender and Development. They are moving for a stronger female presence in the governments,rights concerning marital rape,minimum mariage ages,marginalized and vulnereable groups, cohabitating couples, and so on. They would like constitutional changes specifying these rights, so that the rights are upheld to the fullest extent.
