projects. All this work has been done inter alia thank to UNIPROBA. UNIPROBA is represented at various different levels, there are 17 focal points as well as 70 women located in the provinces and who represent the association. In addition, there is representation taken from the focal points and 119 communities. And this means that the spread of information has been promoted by UNIPROBA. Nevertheless, we are still faced with a number of challenges for instance chronic poverty, marked illiteracy among women. Small numbers of girls going to schools and this means that it is difficult for them to get jobs, it is difficult for them enjoy social integration and they are not properly represented at various levels. In addition, people are ignorant of the law. There is lack of leadership amongst women which means that they are not able to pull their weight when it comes to making their voice heard. When it comes to lobbying. IN addition we have the question of [manage] taking place when are just 12,13,14,or 15 because of this tradition that over the age of 15 women are no longer girls an no longer beautiful enough to marry or appropriate to marry. This is one of the many issues concerning women and girls rights, which need to be taken into account. We would like to make the following recommendations. We would like to recommend the precise data to be gathered on minorities in various countries in order to lead to effective policy to promote the interests of women and girls from minorities, and to ensure the implementation of these policies. We also need to see a fund set up to ensure education for girls from minorities and to make sure that they can go to secondary school and also to help them in the choices that they make in school so that they are better placed to get jobs. Thirdly, mechanisms to encourage women and girls who come from minorities to take part in politics and to vote in and, indeed, to stand for election. Fourthly, we encourage the organisation of awareness raising workshops for women and girls from minorities. In particular, to help them become parts of decision-making bodies of the local and national levels. Thank you.
