Law, Religion and the Family in Africa
The family is a crucial site for the interaction of law and religion the world over, including Africa. In many African societies, the family is governed by a range of sources of law, including civil, constitutional, customary and religious law.

This book, titled Women’s Rights, Gender Inequality, and Intersectional Vulnerabilities: Exploring substantive transformative equality in the African continental and regional human rights systems 20 years after the adoption of the Maputo Protocol, addresses a wide range of issues related to women’s rights, gender-based discrimination, abuse, exploitation, and violence.
