Chad signed the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’  Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa (The Maputo Protocol) on the 6th of December 2004 but has not ratified it. Women remain largely discriminated against in Chad. Although the constitution provides equal rights for all citizens, in practice, there is a big inequality between men and women. Despite the government efforts to promote gender equality, women are still underrepresented in government and decision-making positions. The Constitution is currently suspended following the passing of President Idriss Deby in April 2021. 2015 Order No. 06/PR/2015 of 14 March
