- W2938372842 abstract "Between 2000 and 2015, women ascended to the top of judiciaries across Africa, most notably as chief justices of Supreme Courts in common law countries like Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Gambia, Malawi, Lesotho and Zambia, but also as presidents of Constitutional Courts in civil law countries such as Benin, Burundi, Gabon, Niger and Senegal (Dawuni & Kang, 2014). Most of these appointments were a ‘first’ for a woman chief justice or Constitutional Court president. At the same time, women gained appointments in record numbers as magistrates, judges and justices across the continent. What do these appointments tell us about women’s access to judiciaries and the changing nature of judiciaries across Africa? What roles are women judges and justices playing in promoting democracy in their countries and what impacts are they having in terms of promoting women’s rights? These questions form the basis for this book. Women have constituted an increasing presence in legislatures and executives in many African countries since the early 1990s, a development that has received significant scholarly attention (see Bauer, 2012; Bauer & Okpotor, 2013). The role of women in African judiciaries, by contrast, remains largely underinvestigated, with a few notable, mostly South African, exceptions (Bonthuys, 2013; Cowan, 2006, 2013; Johnson, 2014; Kamau, 2013)." @default.
