Abstract:
South Africa's new constitution unambiguously commits the country to democracy and the elimination of discrimination against women. This volume of essays explores the meaning and implications of gender equality in South Africa. Contributions include studies on child custody, surrogacy, bridewealth, sexual harrassment, rape, sentencing, equality at work, customary law, and gender stereotyping in judical discourse. (DÜI-Hff)
