- Description
- Nagegaan wordt of en in hoeverre vrouwenbesnijdenis een schending van de Nederlandse (straf)wet oplevert. Na een inventarisatie van achtergronden en kenmerken van het verschijnsel vrouwenbesnijdenis wordt een relatie gelegd tot de mensenrechten. De Afrikaanse initiatieven op het terrein van de wetgeving komen aan bod, en de strafwetgeving m.b.t. vrouwenbesnijdenis van Europese landen. Tot slot wordt de omvang van het probleem in Nederland geanalyseerd en wordt bekeken welke strafrechtelijke instrumenten in Nederland ter beschikking staan en of wellicht aanvullende wetgeving noodzakelijk is.

Escobar-Lemmon, and Michelle M. Taylor-Robinson: 2. Plotting the path from one to the other / Karen Beckwith: 3.

- Description
- The book focuses on women's experiences in the family. This is because the lives of women continue to be lived out largely in the private domain, where the right to privacy is used to conceal unequal treatment of women which is justified by invoking 'custom' and 'tradition'. The book shows how law and its interpretation is used to disenfranchise women, resulting in their being deprived of land and other property which they may have helped to accumulate. It also considers issues of violence within the home, reproductive rights and examines the issue of female genital cutting. The role of women in development is explored as is their participation in politics and the NGO sector. A major theme of the book is a consideration of the linkages of constitutional and international human rights norms with local values. This is done using feminist tools of analysis. The book considers the provisions of the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and People's Rights on the Rights of Women which was adopted by the African Union in July 2003.

A unique feature of the work is the voices of African women themselves, who explain how they achieved or continue to fight for electoral success, how they learned to work with lifelong adversaries, and how they have begun to transform their parliaments.

- Description
- The book explains an unexpected consequence of the decrease in conflict in Africa after the 1990s. Analysis of cross-national data and in-depth comparisons of case studies of Uganda, Liberia, and Angola show that post-conflict countries have significantly higher rates of women's political representation in legislatures and government compared with countries that have not undergone major conflict. They have also passed more legislative reforms and made more constitutional changes relating to women's rights. The study explains how these patterns emerged, tying these outcomes to the conjuncture of the rise of women's movements, changes in international women's rights norms and gender disruptions that occur during war.

- Description
- Most countries in Africa have written constitutions, which guarantee both men and women equal rights before the law and prohibit any discrimination on the grounds of sex, race, colour and religion. However, the social life of women is influenced and shaped by customary laws and practices and most disputes are resolved outside the court system. Many women do not know their rights and entitlements. Others dare not claim them due to the adverse effects such a move would bear on them in given social contexts. In recognition of this, the Heinrich Böll Foundation held a conference in Nairobi 2001 to share ideas and plan strategies on how this situation can be addressed.
