Stakeholder Summary:
Para 17) NHRC and CODDHD noted efforts to prohibit harmful traditional practices against women and children - notably female genital mutilation (FGM) - through awareness-raising activities, which had achieved positive results in some areas. CODDHD referred in particular to the case of the Makodolindi community, which had issued a public statement announcing its decision to abandon excision. Nonetheless, CODDHD considered that further efforts were required. WV expressed regret that, despite the enactment by the Government of Act No. 2003-25 condemning harmful practices, FGM remained a widespread practice in the Gurma, Peulh and Arab communities and the regions of Tillabéry, Diffa and Niamey. -

Type:QuestionSession:24th session, January 2016Status:Not Followed up with a RecommendationContents:Quelles mesures concrètes le gouvernement du Niger a l'intention de prendre pour assurer l'enregistrement effectif des naissances?ExplanationPour assurer l'enregistrement effectif des naissances, le Niger a multiplié les centres d'état civil qui sont passés de 3.365 en 2011 à 12.369 en 2015 et renforcé leurs capacités à travers des dotations en véhicules, supports d'enregistrement et autres matériels informatiques. En effet, plus de 13.691 officiers d'état civils et agents ont été formés au cours de ces cinq dernières années permettant ainsi la délivrance de près de 3 millions d'actes de naissance.
Par ailleurs, des audiences foraines ont été réalisées dans toutes les régions. Elles ont permis la délivrance de 571.775 jugements déclaratifs de naissances sur la période de 2011-2015. Pour améliorer la production des actes d'état civil, des séances de sensibilisation ont été organisées et ont permis de toucher 8.762 villages et tribus administratifs totalisant 1.623.764 personnes sensibilisées.
Ces différents facteurs conjugués ont permis d'accroitre le taux de déclarations des naissances de 32% en 2010 à 65% en 2015.

that some of Niger’s labour laws contained certain protective measures excluding women

discriminated against women in the public service, while CEDAW urged Niger to ensure
equal opportunities for, and equal treatment of, women and men in the labour market, and in
particular to strengthen its labour inspectorate. [Para 31]" -
