notes: On 27 December 2018, women's rights activists staged a protest in front of the National Assembly in Nouakchott to condemn the government's decision to withdraw the law on gender-based violence after it was rejected by the Islamic Guidance Committee of the National Assembly. This came during a standstill for women activists in front of the National Assembly to demand legislation to protect them, after the rejection of the draft law for the second time.
