Human rights based approaches (HRBA) to development by scholars and practitioners alike have led to the expansion of laws protecting women's rights in Africa, particularly in the realm of family law. The paradox is that the increase in laws has not resulted in greater equality and justice for women. To be sure, the implementation of new laws will inevitably take time. There are two important consequences of HRBA in Africa: 1) a growing gap between law-in-the-books and law-in-practice and 2) a backlash, in some cases, against woman-friendly family laws. This paper explores challenges to access to justice for women in various African countries. It considers the context of legal hybridity in Africa and how this influences women's access to rights. It examines pathways to the protection of women's rights, including the Protocol to the African Charter for Human and People's Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa and programs that promote the training of paralegals as a method of increasing access to justice. The paper argues that “African” mechanisms such as the Protocol and paralegals are important elements to women achieving sustainable access to rights. Paralegals are an integral part of the justice chain. Their familiarity with community norms, as well as legal awareness, makes them crucial to bridging the gap between the law-in-the-books and law-in-practice. As legal reforms take place across Africa, paralegals, properly trained in the new laws, may offer the best opportunity for helping individuals access justice in ways that do not alienate them from their communities.

Legal Grounds II is a joint publication of the Center, the International Reproductive and Sexual Health Law Programme of the University of Toronto, and the LLM Programme on Reproductive and Sexual Rights of the University of the Free State, South Africa. The first volume was published in 2005 when very few publications examined how national courts interpret and apply regional and international human rights laws - particularly when dealing with legal issues that affect women's rights. The second volume of this publication, which summarizes and analyzes cases pertaining to reproductive and sexual rights, including gender-based violence, HIV discrimination, property and family law, abortion, and claims of fetal interests, continues to provide this needed information. Legal Grounds II is a tool for advocates, activists, and academics working in the African region and can be used to: 1) Enhance and spread awareness of national level legal precedents and decisions; 2) Develop and strengthen litigation and advocacy strategies, and; 3) Identify existing gaps in the interpretation and adjudication of rights. The Fourth Africa Conference on Sexual Health and Rights is a fitting event to launch Legal Grounds II because its' expected 500 attendees - practitioners, advocates, and practitioners alike - all work towards curtailing rights violations including those related to HIV. The Center will also participate in two panel presentations during the conference and distribute both volumes of Legal Grounds and other signature publications.

Just over 50 years ago several African countries drew up new Constitutions which included protocols such as the Protocol on the Rights of Women. Decades later, has constitutional reform brought gender equality to women in Africa? And what does gender equality mean in the everyday lives of women on the continent? The contributors to this volume provide insights into women's rights in seven African countries - Cote d'Ivoire, Malawi, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa and Uganda. Each looks at the causes, context and consequences of the struggle to uphold women's rights. Their case studies illustrate property-grabbing in Malawi, women's citizenship in Nigeria, and the rise of hate crimes and sexual violence against black lesbians in South Africa, among other issues.
