Algerian advocacy group lobbies for equal inheritance rights

2010-12-20

For the first time ever in Algeria, an advocacy group is pressing for equal inheritance rights for men and women, Liberte reported on Monday (December 20th). Algeria's Information and Documentation Center for Children's and Women's Rights (CIDDEF) hosted a seminar on the controversial issue Sunday in Algiers, drawing European and US diplomats, academics, researchers, political activists and trade union representatives. Several participants reportedly remarked on the "audacity" of CIDDEF for "daring" to open the debate on issues of heritage in Algeria.
