WOMEN AND CYBER RIGHTS IN AFRICA
N Ifeanyi-Ajufo and S Tladi (Editors) | Juta | PRINT ISBN: 978-1-48515-113-5
Women and Cyber Rights in Africa explores the challenges faced by African women in cyberspace, highlighting the exacerbation of gender inequalities by emerging technologies. Authored by African female researchers, it employs multidisciplinary approaches and Afro-feminist theories to discuss biases, stereotypes, and the impact of patriarchal structures. The book addresses limited digital literacy, gendered cyber-criminality, and inadequate gender-sensitive policies. It aims to spur effective policy development and further research on African women's cyber rights.
