Women and Sustainable Human Development

Empowering Women in Africa

Edited by Maty Konte Nyasha Tirivayi

Gender, Development and Social Change Series Editor Wendy Harcourt The International Institute of Social Studies Erasmus University The Hague, The Netherlands

The Gender, Development and Social Change series brings together path-­ breaking writing from gender scholars and activist researchers who are engaged in development as a process of transformation and change. The series pinpoints where gender and development analysis and practice are creating major ‘change moments’. Multidisciplinary in scope, it features some of the most important and innovative gender perspectives on development knowledge, policy and social change. The distinctive feature of the series is its dual nature: to publish both scholarly research on key issues informing the gender and development agenda as well as featuring young scholars and activists’ accounts of how gender analysis and practice is shaping political and social development processes. The authors aim to capture innovative thinking on a range of hot spot gender and development debates from women’s lives on the margins to high level global politics. Each book pivots around a key ‘social change’ moment or process conceptually envisaged from an intersectional, gender and rights based approach to development.
