We would be pleased to welcome you to the Coalition and would greatly appreciate your support.

The only requirement for joining the Coalition is to sign the Petition free of charge.

All members of the International Alliance for Women are welcome to sign the Petition and join the Coalition.

Please contact me by email so that we can work together to end violence against women and girls in Africa.

The Coalition is working with the African Union’s Women, Gender, and Youth Directorate (WGYD) to promote the signature, ratification and entry into force of the Convention as soon as possible to provide a Pan-African legal framework for ending violence against women and girls throughout Africa.

This lecture led to the creation of the Coalition for African Treaties Ratification for this Convention last September. The Coalition had over 1,000 members join during the first 10 days, 2,000 members before the end of the year, and currently has over 3,000 members in all 55 AU countries. The lecture is available on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmRQO2_v3C4
