Course Content
This course aims at examining the treatment of women under the country's legal framework both as the law is written and as it is carried out in practice in the light of traditions and culture. It attempts to identify specific legal constraints to the ability of women to contribute to the development process and to indicate and discuss the remedial measures. In this context, the relevant provisions of the 1982 Constitution, Civil Law and Laws on Political Rights of Women are analyzed and discussed.
