Question de Femmes

Questions de Femmes est une association qui œuvre pour la promotion et la protection des droits des femmes au Togo. Elle est composée de défenseurs qui mettent en avant leur expertise juridique au profit des femmes, en particulier celles qui n’ont pas les moyens de payer pour des services juridiques. Questions de Femmes collabore avec les associations et ONG du Togo qui lui transmettent les cas de violations des droits des femmes nécessitant une intervention juridique. Elle bénéficie d’une reconnaissance dans les milieux judiciaires au Togo car elle cherche à œuvrer pour l’accès de tous à la justice.

En 2016, Equality Now et Questions de Femmes, ont respectueusement exhorté le Conseil des droits de l’homme à demander au gouvernement du Togo de s’attaquer à la discrimination sexuelle dans sa loi sur la nationalité en modifiant de manière exhaustive la loi sur la nationalité pour :

a. permettre aux femmes togolaises de transférer leur nationalité à leurs enfants sur un pied d’égalité avec les hommes ;

b. permettre aux femmes togolaises de transférer leur nationalité à leur conjoint sur la base de l’égalité avec les hommes ; et

c. empêcher les femmes togolaises naturalisées de perdre automatiquement leur nationalité à la fin de leur mariage ; 

d. et supprimer toute autre discrimination fondée sur le sexe.

Questions de Femmes is an association which works for the promotion and protection women’s rights in Togo. It is comprised of advocates who put forward their legal expertise for the benefit of women especially women who do not have the means to pay for legal services. Questions de Femmes collaborates with associations and NGOs in Togo who channel to Questions de Femmes cases of women’s rights violations that require legal intervention. It enjoys recognition in the judicial circles in Togo as it seeks to work towards ensuring access to justice by all.

In 2016, Equality Now and Questions de Femmes, respectfully urged the Human Rights Council to call on the government of Togo to address sex discrimination in its nationality law by comprehensively amending the nationality law to:

a. allow Togolese women to transfer their nationality to their children on an equal basis with men;

b. allow Togolese women to transfer their nationality to their spouse on an equal basis with men; and

c. prevent naturalised Togolese women from automatically losing their nationality upon termination of marriage; 

d. and remove any other discrimination on the basis of sex.
