This book examines violence against women in Africa and criminal
justice from the perspective of African scholars, practitioners and
experts. As a global and long-standing issue, violence against
women is gaining public visibility across the African continent
with some states announcing a national crisis warranting immediate
redress. At the global level, the elimination of all forms of
violence against all women and girls forms a key part of United
Nations Sustainable Development Goal 5: Gender Equality. Split
across two volumes, these books present a comprehensive analysis of
the latest research and theories, principles and practices of
criminal justice systems, criminal justice accountability
mechanisms, and the key challenges women face in their quest for
justice on the African continent. This volume (II) focusses on
sexual violence and vulnerable women's access to justice in Africa.
Volume I focusses on legislation and its impact, the limitations of
criminal justice responses, and the cultural and social norms
regarding access to justice. Together, they adopt a comparative
approach that highlight gaps and good practices to provide a rich
source of authoritative information for promoting an intra-African
dialogue and cross-fertilization of ideas across the different
criminal justice traditions in Africa. Both volumes seek to advance
discussions on eliminating violence against women in Africa and
speak to those interested in criminal justice, violence, gender
studies and African legal studies.
