Finally, it encouraged the adoption of laws to prevent sexual harassment and the development of initiatives to combat this problem; the enactment of laws to prevent child abuse; and the adoption of measures to combat child labour. 820. Rencontre Africaine pour la défense des droits de l’homme noted that the chronic political instability experienced by Guinea-Bissau since the last review cycle had not allowed the implementation of the recommendations of the universal periodic review. Nevertheless, it commended the adoption of the law on parity and initiatives to combat corruption, drug trafficking, and trafficking in persons, as well as the "Terra Ranka" Strategic Plan (2015-2025). It expressed concern at the persistence of female genital mutilation, domestic violence, as well as the lack of hygiene, food, and the practice of torture in prisons. It invited Guinea-Bissau to redouble its efforts to combat illiteracy, poverty, early marriages, prison overcrowding and impunity. In conclusion, it called on the international community to support Guinea-Bissau in its efforts to consolidate peace, democracy and sustainable development. 821. Africa Culture Internationale expressed concern about the human rights situation in Guinea-Bissau. It noted that, though the country had recently celebrated the anniversary of its independence, it continued to face many failings, in particular in the political sphere. It stated that the country should be congratulated for recent progress achieved, with the removal of troops from ECOWAS, which had been stationed since 2012, following the coup that had taken place in April of that year. It also praised Guinea-Bissau for the development of recent partnerships. Nevertheless, the elections were still subject to some degree of controversy, and there was still some concern with regard to the transparency of the process.
