African Women’s Report 2009

Abstract
The report highlights difficulties that countries are facing with respect to the full realisation of women’s rights due, among other things, to the persistence of negative cultural and religious beliefs and attitudes towards women. High Maternal Mortality Rates as highlighted during the ICPD and Beijing +15 regional reviews of October and November 2009 and further established in the AWR is an issue of catastrophic concern.
