Today, at the 70th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women (#CSW70), H.E. Sophia Tesfamariam reaffirmed #Eritrea’s commitment to advancing gender equality, strengthening access to justice for women and girls, and protecting their dignity and rights. @AmbStesfamariam further: -underlined that marking 30 years since the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, #Eritrea highlighted progress through legal reforms ensuring equality before the law, expanded women’s rights to land and productive resources, and strengthened labour protections. -highlighted the legal and institutional reforms implemented since independence, including the repeal of discriminatory colonial laws and the establishment of equality before the law as a national principle. These reforms strengthened women’s rights in family law, ensured equal access to land and productive resources, expanded labour protections, and enabled women to transmit nationality to their children. -underscored Proclamation No. 158/2007 banning female genital mutilation, one of the earliest legislative bans in the region, as well as #Eritrea ’s community court system, where women increasingly serve as judges and leaders, strengthening grassroots access to justice. -emphasized that peace, stability, and community participation remain essential foundations for achieving gender equality and sustainable development, while recognizing the historic role of #Eritrean women in the liberation struggle, where they served as fighters, educators, medics, and organizers, helping transform social norms and shape #Eritrea ’s nation-building process. 🇪🇷 #CSW70 #GenderEquality #AccessToJustice #Eritrea #WomenEmpowerment
