This book explores the intersections of gender, religion and
migration within the context of post-independent Zimbabwe, with a
specific focus on how gender disparities impact economic
development. By demonstrating how these interconnections impact
women's and girls' lived realities, the book addresses the need for
gender equity, gender inclusion and gender mainstreaming in both
religious and societal institutions. This book assesses the gender
and migration nexus in Zimbabwe and examines the impact of
religio-cultural ideologies on the status of women. In doing so, it
assesses the transition of Zimbabwean women across spaces and
provides insights into the practical strategies that can be
utilised to improve their status both "at home" and "on the move."
Furthermore, chapters show how space continues to be genderised in
ways that perpetuate structural inequality to challenge the
exclusion of women from key social processes. Contributing to
ongoing scholarly debates on gender in Africa, this book will be of
interest to academics and students of Gender Studies, Women's
Studies, African Studies, Development Studies as well as advocators
of human rights and gender activists.
This volume brings to the fore the interface of religion, women's
sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR), and the sustainable
development goals (SDGs) in Zimbabwe. It emphasizes that empowering
African women is a pivotal pillar for attaining sustainable
development. Contributors discuss the need for implementing
structural changes as a prerequisite for social progress and
development to occur in Southern Africa. They interrogate the
extent to which religious beliefs and practices either promote or
impede women's SRHR. The contributors also proffer several ways in
which addressing the themes of health for all and equality for all
women and girls can make a meaningful contribution towards the
fulfillment of the goals set for Agenda 2030.
Crossbar switch fabrics offer many benefits when designing
switch/routers. This book discusses switch/router architectures
using design examples and case studies of well-known systems that
employ crossbar switch fabric as their internal interconnects. This
book looks to explain the design of switch/routers from a
practicing engineer's perspective. It uses a broad range of design
examples to illustrate switch/router designs and provides case
studies to enhance readers comprehension of switch/router
architectures. The book goes on to discuss industry best practices
in switch/router design and explains the key features and
differences between unicast and multicast packet forwarding
architectures. This book will be of benefit to telecoms/networking
industry professionals and engineers as well as researchers and
academics looking for more practical and efficient approaches for
designing non-blocking crossbar switch fabrics.
Zimbabwe has invested in women’s emancipation and leadership
while articulating a strong Pan-Africanist ideology, providing a
valuable entry point into understanding the dynamics relating to
women’s leadership in Africa. It is also characterised by radical
religious pluralism, thereby facilitating an appreciation of the
impact of religion on women’s leadership in Africa more
generally. This volume reflects on the role of Zimbabwean
women in religio-cultural leadership, with a specific focus on
roles within religious organizations. It begins by examining
Zimbabwean church women’s leadership roles in long established
faith communities. The chapters then hone in on the emergence of
churches or ministries founded by women in Zimbabwe, starting from
the pre-colonial era and advancing through the last forty years of
independence. Hence, the book offers a comprehensive assessment of
the challenges and opportunities women in leadership face in
religious institutions in the country, before exploring the impact
of the pandemic on the ability of women to lead. It will make a
major contribution to the advancement of scholarship of gender and
leadership in emerging markets.

review on leadership, with a specific focus on African women’s
leadership in the context of global studies on leadership. The
chapters then discuss the unique Zimbabwean women’s leadership
roles in ecological conservation. Topics include disaster
management, the SDGs, and ecological stewardship. The book closes
with examining women’s leadership among adherents of African
Indigenous Spirituality, such as among the Shona and Ndau ethnic
groups. It will appeal to scholars across management, women’s
studies, religion, and cultural studies contemplating on African
women’s leadership in religion as well as other areas of life.
