The Commission found that the Respondent State violated Articles 1, 2, 3, 5, 9(2), 16(1), 18(3), and 26 of the African Charter by failing to protect the victims from gender-based violence, not conducting effective investigations, and not providing effective remedies. The violence was gender-specific, state actors were complicit or failed to act, and the state failed to meet its positive obligations. There was no violation of Articles 7(1)(a) and 16(2) as the victims had access to appeal and received medical attention.
