Where new constitutional laws are in place, customary law is problematic. In terms of activism, building movement support is vital in terms of supporting the resilience of women who bring test cases to court. Support is also vital in terms of advocating for a new possibility when a favourable court decision is reached. Capacity building of young lawyers around the realities of taking up gender justice work is essential. Documentation of the work is also essential.Text1 digital file (219 p. in various paging)enWOMEN'S RIGHTSGENDER EQUALITYGENDER JUSTICEGENDER ANALYSISPROPERTY RIGHTSCASE STUDIESCONSTITUTIONAL REFORMLEGAL REFORMMARRIAGEMARITAL STATUSPOLYGAMYLAND RIGHTSACCESS TO JUSTICECUSTOMARY LAWOWNERSHIPSOUTH OF SAHARABuilding responsive law and policy : drawing on feminist frameworks of gender, sexuality and politics; programme report (March, 2010-December 31st, 2010)IDRC Final Report
