Mainstreaming 21st century African feminisms in interpreting gender-based violence in the African Union human rights system

Abstract

This mini-dissertation interrogates the jurisprudence on gender-based violence (GBV) by the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights and the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights. With African feminisms in the 21st century as the conceptual framework, the jurisprudence is assessed for its attention to the gendered aspects of GBV.
