Women judges are playing increasingly prominent roles in many
African judiciaries, yet there remains very little comparative
research on the subject. Drawing on extensive cross-national data
and theoretical and empirical analysis, this book provides a timely
and broad-ranging assessment of gender and judging in African
judiciaries. Employing different theoretical approaches, the book
investigates how women have fared within domestic African
judiciaries as both actors and litigants. It explores how women
negotiate multiple hierarchies to access the judiciary, and how
gender-related issues are handled in courts. The chapters in the
book provide policy, theoretical and practical prescriptions to the
challenges identified, and offer recommendations for the future
directions of gender and judging in the post-COVID-19 era,
including the role of technology, artificial intelligence, social
media, and institutional transformations that can help promote
women's rights. Bringing together specific cases from Kenya,
Uganda, Ghana, Nigeria, Zambia, Tanzania, and South Africa and
regional bodies such as ECOWAS and the African Commission on Human
and Peoples' Rights, and covering a broad range of thematic
reflections, this book will be of interest to scholars, students,
and practitioners of African law, judicial politics, judicial
training, and gender studies. It will also be useful to bilateral
and multilateral donor institutions financing gender-sensitive
judicial reform programs, particularly in Africa. The Open Access
version of this book, available at
