The Committee regrets the lack of comprehensive, disaggregated data on
complaints, investigations, prosecutions and convictions in cases of torture and ill-treatment
committed by law-enforcement personnel, military officers, prison staff and psychiatric
personnel, and of statistics on the various forms of violence against girls and women in
Senegal.
The State party should compile the above-mentioned data for the whole country to
allow the implementation of the Convention to be effectively evaluated and to
facilitate the identification of targeted action to prevent and combat effectively
torture, ill-treatment and all forms of violence against girls and women. The State
party should also provide statistics on redress, including compensation, and means of
rehabilitation for victims.
