Hosting this significant meeting in South Africa in April 2026 is profoundly symbolic. It connects the continent’s progressive legal frameworks – the Maputo Protocol and Constitutions of various African countries – with the historic courage of women who fought for the very rights these documents protect. The 2nd High-Level Meeting of Woman Leader Judicial Officers of Africa is not merely a conference; it is a strategic convergence point to honour the past, evaluate the present, and judicially shape a more equitable future for all African women and girls.
