Burundi: Amend gender-based violence law
Abstract
Burundi’s 2016 law against gender-based violence was a milestone achievement, bringing improved protection. However, it falls short of regional and international best practice, and in some instances undermines rather reinforces the fight against gender-based violence. This briefing proposes how to strengthen protections, including through revisions of the law.
