Abstract
This article examines the problem of protecting women's rights in Africa. The foundations and traditions of African society create a lot of obstacles to the socialization of women in a modern society. Many women are deprived of the most essential things - a decent education, access to all necessary health services, good treatment and social status, the ability to independently manage their lives, and participate in government. African states have adopted a number of acts that enshrine fundamental rights and freedoms for women at the legislative level, but their implementation in practice faces a strong tradition and a lack of resources. The situation was further complicated by the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, disrupting economic and social ties in African society. The article provides recommendations for overcoming these obstacles and creating prerequisites for establishing gender equality in the region.

Traditions deeply rooted in the minds of the inhabitants of the African region remain a serious obstacle to the implementation of the regime of equal rights and opportunities

Summary
Despite the various breakthrough achievements of humankind, the problem of gender inequality remains relevant nowadays. The problem is most acute in developing regions such as Africa, parts of Asia and Latin America. This problem is an important part of the global agenda, since it is multi-component and affects other global problems of humankind, in particular, the problems of food shortages and health care. We will note the results achieved, highlight the key challenges of our time and consider the ways to solve them that are suitable in our opinion, which, in turn, will give an impetus to an improvement in the picture in the region as a whole
