  • More about Gender, Poverty and Access to Justice: Policy Implementation in Sub-Saharan Africa


Access to justice is a fundamental right, and development policies must address the multidimensional deprivations faced by the poor. This book explores and analyzes gendered access to justice, poverty, and disempowerment in Sub-Saharan Africa and provides policy discussions on integrating gender in justice programming.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 204 pages
Publication date: 22 December 2021
Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd


Access to justice is a fundamental right that is enshrined in a vast array of international, regional, and domestic legal frameworks. It is also a crucial element of development policies aimed at addressing the multifaceted deprivations faced by the impoverished to enhance socio-economic well-being and advance the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Women and children, who constitute the majority of Africa's poorest and most marginalized populations, often face barriers to enforcing their rights or seeking alternative remedies.

This book delves into and examines the issue of gendered access to justice, poverty, and disempowerment across Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). It offers policy discussions on integrating gender into justice programming, with a particular focus on the challenges, obstacles, and successes of developing and implementing gender-focused access to justice policies and programming in the region. Through in-depth individual country case studies, the book highlights the complexities and nuances of implementing gender-responsive access to justice policies and initiatives in Sub-Saharan Africa.

This multidisciplinary volume appeals to policy makers, scholars, and researchers with interests in poverty and gender policy across the fields of law, economics, and global development in Sub-Saharan Africa. Moreover, the volume provides valuable policy insights that can be applied in other geographical contexts where access to justice remains elusive for the poor and marginalized.
