Women and Cyber Rights in Africa

Women and Cyber Rights in Africa challenges the extant reality of womenÕs rights in cyberspace. It is a collection of work by African female researchers who deliver perspectives on the discourse through multi-disciplinary and cross-jurisdictional approaches while exploring roles, stereotypes, prejudices and biases in cyberspace. Gender inequalities have been exacerbated by the advent of emerging technologies which further disrupt cultural and societal norms in regions such as Africa with existing gender and patriarchal preconceptions. While some advances have been achieved in introducing policies on cyber rights, challenges related to gendered aspects particularly persists.
