Written by a team of experts from legal, forensic and policy backgrounds, this first of its kind initiative presents new research into sexual harassment across Africa. The book foregrounds the work of African scholars and presents careful research analysis and case studies that consider sexual harassment from legal, socio-economic and cultural realities. It highlights the importance of laws around sexual harassment in Africa, the intersectional challenges it poses to women in the workplace as well as the role of the feminist movement in Africa to hold perpetrators accountable and give voice to survivors of sexual harassment. The book forms part of a broader African driven research initiative on sexual harassment and the law and is written in partnership with the Africa End Sexual Harassment Initiative (AESHI). It also explores the need to focus on best practice benchmarks for Africa and also learning from developments in Africa. Timely and relevant, the book will be of great interest to legal and policy academic scholars, professionals and activists working in the fields of gender policy, forensic psychology and NGOs. It will also be useful reading for postgraduate students of law, gender studies, political science and African studies.
