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.
