Book excerpt: 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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While it is true that, like elsewhere in the world, African women are not yet equal to men, toiling day and night amidst grinding poverty while facing harsh cultural, traditional, and social prejudices is only part of the story. The writings in this book show that women in Africaare fighting for their rights with grace, tenacity, and eloquence. The contributors describe how they won the cross-continental campaign for a protocol to protect the rights of African women and what still needs to be done to ensure that women enjoy these rights in every country. In a rich variety of articles, they consider topics such as women and conflict, the impact of current U.S. policies on women's health in Africa, women's rights in Islam, and the implications of the Jacob Zuma trial for women in South Africa."

Download or read book The Emergent African Union Law written by Olufemi Amao and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-07 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a groundbreaking study of the emergence of a unique African Union legal system, with contributions from a diverse collection of scholars and practitioners. It highlights how law stands at the heart of the successful regional integration effort in Africa and explores, among either issues, the extent to which African Union law is having an impact on domestic laws. This trend has been particularly noticeable in the area of human rights, the rule of law, democratic principles, and aspects of constitutional law. Furthermore, the book examines how the African Union is engendering new norms from its legal order, such as the non-indifference norm, the norm on unconstitutional change of government, free trade, free movement of people, economic regulation, and democratic constitutionalism. The book also analyses how the African Union legal order has led to the emergence of a continental-level judicial system. The quasi-judicial system put in place under the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights, and administered by the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights, is now complemented by the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights. This book contends that the continental-level judicial system is playing a crucial role in the moulding of emergent norms.

In African Women: Early History to the 21st Century, Kathleen Sheldon masterfully delivers a comprehensive study of this expansive story from before the time of records to the present day. She provides rich background on descent systems and the roles of women in matrilineal and patrilineal systems. Sheldon's work profiles elite women, as well as those in leadership roles, traders and market women, religious women, slave women, women in resistance movements, and women in politics and development.
