Evaluation / Book review. |
This handbook for advocacy in the African human rights system was prepared by legal scholars under the auspices of the International Programme on Reproductive and Sexual Health Law at the University of Toronto. The 193-page manual aims to facilitate use of Africa's human rights system to promote and protect reproductive and sexual health. Intended as a resource for women's health and rights advocates working in Africa, it provides the following: * an overview of the context of reproductive and sexual health in Africa * an introduction to the African regional human rights system * "how-to" information on using the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights * background on the Commission's casework relevant to advocacy, and * basic human rights documents of the African human rights system.
