Download The African Women's Protocol Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Evaluating the impact of the African Women's Protocol, this important study focuses on three African countries--South Africa, Zambia, and Mozambique--and presents a map for the road ahead. Through careful research and in-depth investigation, the guide explores in practice the rights ratified for women by the protocol, such as reproductive rights, the prohibition of female genital mutilation, and economic and social welfare rights. The rights of particularly vulnerable groups of women, including widows, elderly women, disabled women and "women in distress"--which includes poor women, women from marginalized population groups, and pregnant or nursing women in detention--are specifically recognized.

Download Patriarchy and Gender in Africa Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This timely and expansive multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary collection dissects precolonial, colonial, and post-independence issues of male dominance, power, and control over the female body in the legal, socio-cultural, and political contexts in Africa. Contributors focus on the historical, theoretical, and empirical narratives of intersecting perspectives of gender and patriarchy in at least ten countries across the major sub-regions of the African continent. In these well-researched chapters, authors provide a deeper understanding of patriarchy and gender inequality in identifying misogyny, resisting male supremacy, reforming discriminatory laws, embracing human-centered public policies, expanding academic scholarship on the continent, and more.

The year 2016 was declared by the African Union as the African ‘Year of Human Rights with Particular Focus on the Rights of Women’ to commemorate and celebrate significant milestones in the realisation of human rights on the African continent. The year marks the 35th anniversary of the adoption of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (African Charter), 30th year since coming into force of the African Charter and 10 years since the inauguration of the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights.

All AU member states (with the exception of new comer South Sudan) are state parties to the African Charter, and 36 of them have accepted the Maputo Protocol. This book assesses the impact and effectiveness of the African Charter and the Maputo Protocol in 17 African countries, namely Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe. The book is the result of research conducted by selected alumni of the Centre for Human Rights’ LLM in Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa programme.

The book provides an essential and topical source of information for scholars, practitioners and students in the field of international criminal law, and for all readers with an interest in political science and African studies.

Download The Africa Women's Protocol Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The Protocol to the African Charter on Human and People's Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa (Africa Women's Protocol) was adopted on 11 July 2003 during the Heads of State and Government of the African Union Summit held in Maputo, Mozambique. The Protocol entered into force after it received the necessary 15 State Party ratifications on 25 November 2005. The Protocol provides a continent-wide legal framework for addressing gender inequality and the underlying aspects of the way that society is organized that perpetuate women's subordination and contribute to their marginalization and their occupation of the lower strata in all spheres of life. As part of its strategy to promote gender equality and women's empowerment, Oxfam GB Southern Africa supports a number of partner organizations to advocate for the universal ratification, popularization, domestication, implementation, and monitoring of the Africa Women's Protocol. These Programme Insights papers reflect some of the key strategies that partner organizations have used during these processes. This publication is a series of seven stapled papers in a folder.

Focusing on African Union law, the book explores the core concepts and principles, theory and practice, accountability mechanisms and key issues challenging human rights law in the era of global environmental change.
