Inhaltsangabe

This book considers gender dimensions of a number of issues central to human security and development in Africa, including food security, AIDS, legal rights, violence, conflict resolution, informal work, the environment, and poverty alleviation. The gender focus of this volume points to the importance of power relationships and policy variability underlying human insecurities in the African context. The insights of this book offer the potential for an improved human security framework, one that embraces a more complex and context-specific analysis of the issues of risk and vulnerability, therefore expanding its capacity to safeguard the livelihoods of the most vulnerable populations.
