The chapters in this volume foreground the ambivalent role of
religion and culture when it comes to African women's health and
well-being. Reflecting on the three major religions in Africa, i.e.
African indigenous religions, Christianity, and Islam, the authors
illustrate how religious beliefs and practices can either enhance
or hinder women's holistic progress and development. With a
specific focus on Zimbabwean women's experiences of religion and
culture, the volume discusses how African indigenous religions,
Christianity, and Islam tend to privilege men and understate the
value of women in Africa. Adopting diverse theological,
ideological, and political positions, contributors to this volume
restate the fact that the key teachings of different religions,
often suppressed due to patriarchal influences, are a potent
resource in the quest for gender justice. In sync with the goals
for gender justice and women empowerment envisioned in the United
Nations' Agenda 2030 and Africa Agenda 2063, the contributors
advocate for gender-inclusive and life-enhancing interpretations of
religious and cultural traditions in Africa.
