Document from the year 2019 in the subject Law - Comparative Legal Systems, Comparative Law, , language: English, abstract: Attaching premium to the rights of women and their enforcement in Kenya, the scope of this book is calibrated on both the philosophies surrounding the existence of the various rights of women, their enforcement and realization. In the above context, the book seeks to foster understanding on the following topical issues - concept of gender parity; concept of gender legislation; feminism theory; reproductive rights of women; women’s property rights in Kenya; and the existence, practice and rights of women living in woman to woman marriages.Gender equality, defined as a numerical concept denotes real or relative numerical and proportional equality of girls and boys and women and men. To address the gender inequalities as a measure to the attainment of the desired equality, the place and operation of legislation has been considered as key. The book also studies jurisprudence on enforcement of reproductive rights in Kenya. Defined as a person’s rights relating to the control of his or her procreative activities, the book queries the numerous cluster of liberties relating to pregnancy, abortion, and sterilization especially the personal bodily rights of women among others. The book tests the woman concern in the making of reproductive decisions free from discrimination, coercion, or violence. As a highly contentious matter in the women rights campaign, the book studies the regime of property ownership in Kenya with specific regards to the rights of women to own, use and dispose property. The book examines Kenya’s jurisprudence to elicit the court’s and feminists’ perspectives in advancing the woman concern. Lastly, the book writes on a silent topical issue of woman to woman marriage which unlike lesbianism, is a practice where a woman marries another woman and assumes control over her and her offspring for the purpose of child bearing. The book finds out the broad features of woman to woman marriage and the dispute resolution process in this institution. Subsequently, the law governing woman to woman marriages and the nature of disputes relating to woman to woman marriage is also subjected into discussion.

The book studies the existence, enforcement and adjudication of women's rights in Kenya. Reviewing the concepts of gender parity, gender legislation and feminist legal theory, the book queries the existence and observance of women's reproductive rights; women's property rights; and the rights of women living in woman to woman marriages in Kenya. Predicated on the understanding that gender equality affords women and men equal enjoyment of human rights and equal opportunities, the book curves a niche as progress report of the existence and observance of women's rights in Kenya. The book therefore enunciates the call for gender equality as a device for establishing a sense of justice and fairness in the treatment of women and men in order to eventually achieve gender equality by requesting specific measures and differential treatment of women and men.

Women judges are playing increasingly prominent roles in many African judiciaries, yet there remains very little comparative research on the subject. Drawing on extensive cross-national data and theoretical and empirical analysis, this book provides a timely and broad-ranging assessment of gender and judging in African judiciaries. Employing different theoretical approaches, the book investigates how women have fared within domestic African judiciaries as both actors and litigants. It explores how women negotiate multiple hierarchies to access the judiciary, and how gender-related issues are handled in courts. The chapters in the book provide policy, theoretical and practical prescriptions to the challenges identified, and offer recommendations for the future directions of gender and judging in the post-COVID-19 era, including the role of technology, artificial intelligence, social media, and institutional transformations that can help promote women’s rights. Bringing together specific cases from Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Nigeria, Zambia, Tanzania, and South Africa and regional bodies such as ECOWAS and the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights, and covering a broad range of thematic reflections, this book will be of interest to scholars, students, and practitioners of African law, judicial politics, judicial training, and gender studies. It will also be useful to bilateral and multilateral donor institutions financing gender-sensitive judicial reform programs, particularly in Africa.
