Sexual Harassment, Law and Human Rights in Africa

This book delves into the endemic and pervasive issue of sexual  harassment in Africa, examining it as a gendered expression of power  and a gross violation of human rights. It explores sexual harassment in  various sectors, including domestic work, academia, and the informal  economy, across a range of African countries. The book also highlights  the sexual harassment experienced by vulnerable populations, such as  internally displaced people, people with disabilities, and women and  girls traveling by air. With a keen focus on the intersection of law,  feminism, and human rights, the book analyzes the role of the courts and  national human rights institutions in addressing sexual harassment,  drawing lessons from other jurisdictions. This book is a must-read for  researchers, policymakers, and civil society organizations interested in  gender power relations and women‘s rights in Africa and beyond.
