Selon le contexte mondial, plus d'une femme sur trois indiquent avoir été exposées à des violences basées sur le genre (VBG) au cours de leur vie, près de 750 millions de femmes et de filles se sont mariées avant leur 18e anniversaire et plus de 200 millions ont subi des mutilations génitales féminines (OMS, 2018). Les chiffres sont accablants. Au Tchad, une femme sur cinq déclare être victime de violence physique et 12% des femmes subissent des violences sexuelles chaque année, 35% des filles sont mariées avant l'âge de 15 ans et 44% ont vécu des mutilations génitales féminines (Enquête EDS-MICS, 2014-2015). Nonobstant le fait que le Tchad dispose d'un arsenal juridique étoffé, aussi bien au plan international, régional que national en matière de lutte contre les violences faites aux femmes, on assiste à la récurrence des cas de violences à l'égard de cette catégorie de population. Les VBG sont l'un des problèmes fondamentaux et présents dans les sociétés tchadiennes. Aux termes de l'article 1er de la Déclaration des Nations Unies sur l'élimination de la violence à l'égard des femmes adoptée en Décembre 1993 et proclamée le 24 Février 1994 par l'Assemblée Générale des Nations Unies: Les mots violence à l'égard des femmes désignent tous actes de violence dirigés contre le sexe féminin et causant ou pouvant causer aux femmes un préjudice ou des souffrances physiques, sexuelles ou psychologiques, y compris la menace de tels actes, la contrainte ou la privation arbitraire de liberté, que ce soit dans la vie publique ou dans la vie privée . Ce phénomène regorge moult causes. D'entrée de jeu, la violence à l'égard des femmes traduit des rapports de force historiquement inégaux entre les hommes et les femmes, lesquels ont abouti à la domination et à la discrimination exercées par les premiers et freiné la promotion des secondes et qu'elle compte parmi les principaux mécanismes sociaux auxquels est due la subordination des femmes aux hommes. À cet effet, cette subordination donne lieu à des violences de tout acabit. Quoi qu'il en soit, les violences basées sur le genre est une question d'actualité et qui préoccupe au plus haut, presque tous les Etats du monde. Dès lors, on se pose les questions suivantes: quelles sont les causes des VBG au Tchad ? Quelles sont les conséquences du phénomène dans la dynamique sociétale ? Quelles sont les stratégies à mettre sur pied pour lutter contre ce phénomène ? Partant de ces interrogations, il est nécessaire de présenter les causes des VBG (1), montrer les conséquences (2) et enfin, donner les techniques et les solutions (3) pour lutter contre ce phénomène au sein de la société tchadienne.

This book assesses the impact and effectiveness of the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa (Maputo Protocol) in 16 state parties. These countries are: Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Eswatini, the Gambia, Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe. Each of the chapters traces the impact that the Protocol has had on the policies, laws, court decisions, civil society activism, and legal education in the particular state. Each chapter also discusses the relationship of the state with the African human rights mechanisms. The book is an update of two prior volumes of essays, titled The impact of the African Charter and the Maputo Protocol in selected African states, published by PULP in 2012 and 2016, and edited by the Centre for Human Rights, Universityof Pretoria (Centre) and Victor Ayeni, respectively. The third edition, focused more narrowly on the Maputo Protocol, appears as the continent marks 20 years since the adoption of the Protocol on 11 July 2003. By 11 July 2023, 54 out of 55 African Union member states (with the exception of Morocco) have become party to the African Charter, and 44 of them have accepted the Maputo Protocol. The book is edited by and contains several chapters by alumni of the Master’s in Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa programme of the Centre. The Centre intends to use this research as the basis for a continuously updated database on the impact of the African Charter and Maputo Protocol.

The authors present an overview of gender-based violence (GBV) in Latin America, with special emphasis on good practice interventions to prevent GBV or offer services to its survivors or perpetrators. Intimate partner violence and sexual coercion are the most common forms of GBV, and these are the types of GBV that they analyze. GBV has serious consequences for women's health and well-being, ranging from fatal outcomes, such as homicide, suicide, and AIDS-related deaths, to nonfatal outcomes, such as physical injuries, chronic pain syndrome, gastrointestinal disorders, complications during pregnancy, miscarriage, and low birth-weight of children. GBV also poses significant costs for the economies of developing countries, including lower worker productivity and incomes, and lower rates of accumulation of human and social capital. The authors examine good practice approaches in justice, health, education, and multisectoral approaches. In each sector, they identify good practices for: (1) law and policies; (2) institutional reforms; (3) community-level interventions; and (4) individual behavior change strategies.
