This textbook provides students across Social Sciences, Humanities,
Politics, and International Studies with an in-depth understanding
of the issues, policies, and strategies for addressing the symptoms
and root causes of violence against women (VAW) in sub-Saharan
Africa. This text uses the United Nations Security Council's
Resolution 1325 (UNSCR 1325) on Women, Peace and Security in
Eastern and Southern Africa as a framework to present the causes
and impacts of VAW and to trace the journey of sub-Saharan African
countries toward gender equality. It also provides an overview of
the policy and legislative frameworks that underpin the progress,
challenges, and achievements of addressing VAW based on four key
pillars: prevention, protection, participation, and relief and
recovery. Chapters provide a wealth of knowledge, as the book draws
on academic literature; national, regional, and international
legislations; and data collected from field research, and makes use
of end-of-chapter discussion questions and quick study guides.
Students will come away equipped with the tools, resources, and
knowledge necessary to address and fix VAW in sub-Saharan Africa
and beyond.
