Feminist lawyers have long been engaged in critiquing the gendered
nature of South African law. This project has increased in
importance and scope as a result of the centrality of gender
equality, as a value and a substantive right, in the South African
Constitution. Gender, law and justice provides both theoretical and
practical tools to enable academic and practising lawyers to apply
concepts of gender equality to the law. It introduces readers to
basic feminist concepts and arguments, and to a wealth of local,
comparative and international material on gender and the law. It
also illustrates how the law may be shaped to transform the social,
cultural and economic conditions of women's lives in South Africa,
at the same time as it acknowledges the limits of legal strategies
for change. Gender, law and justice has three main objectives. The
first is to identify the different positions of women in South
Africa and to examine the disparate impact of the legal system on
their lives. Secondly, it aims to expose the gender bias in legal
concepts and in the content and application of legal rules.
Thirdly, it suggests changes to the law, and evaluates those
changes that have already occurred, with a view to developing the
law so that it is better able to ensure justice and meet the
diverse needs of women in South Africa.
