Between many existent actions in place, there is the Institutional Network for Fight Against
Violence based in genre. It is coordinated by ICIEG (Cape-verdean Institute for Equality and
Fairness of Genre), which was created to respond to the lack of articulation between
partners/intervenient making difficult the appropriate treatment to cases. The aim of the
network is to pay quality support to victims of domestic violence with most haste, security
and efficiency, facilitating the conduction, and personalized and adequate assistance case by
case. Another important step in this fight was the conception of the National Plan against
Violence based in gender which brought some contributors and indications in this matter.
Right to Education

than 15 years old is of 79,6%, with a slightly higher rate for male (87,0%) than female
(73,1%).
As for the younger population, Cape Verde has reached important progresses guaranteeing the
inclusion of all children in scholar age in the educational system. We can emphasise that
human rights its part off the scholar curriculum.
Fight against poverty and social inequality
Poverty has been one of the main challenges of the Cape-verdean government and we are
aware that it constitutes an obstacle for the execution of many rights.
The Government has developed programmes with the aim to create alliances between
economic growth and economic and social rights. The concept of political poverty reduction
adopted by the Cape-verdean government is omnibus and it covers both politics of
macroeconomic character (budgeting, monetary and exchange), and public management of
good governance, like measures of microeconomic and sector nature, targeting groups of
deprived population.
The targets to reach are the reduction of poverty rate, absolute poverty eradication, the
elevation to medium income groups living bellow poverty groundsel, the improvement of
productive capacity of the poor, the improvement of economic and social infrastructures of
poor communities.
