United Nations Special Rapporteur Rachida Manjoo arrives in Algiers on Monday (November 1st) to assess the country's progress in stemming violence against women. Algeria asked the UN official to evaluate the country's implementation of recommendations made by the previous UN Rapporteur in 2007. During her 10-day working visit, Manjoo will meet with representatives of government institutions and civil society organizations.
The invitation demonstrates "Algeria's commitment in the promotion and protection of human rights and specifically the rights of women", the Algerian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Sunday.
