However, its level of prevalence in society and peoples attitude towards it varied according to socio-cultural, economic and political conditions. Some scholars think that prostitution is a necessary social evil because it protects innocent girls and women against rape and the men can have another outlet for sexual relief(Rattanwanaship,1991).others think that prostitution is not only a question related to morality but is also associated with other serious issues of alcohol, drug and crime. Secondly, in contemporary times, it may pose a serious threat to public health because of HIV/AIDS spread. Thirdly, it undermines the institution of marriage and family.

  • Violence Against Women in Africa: a Situational Analysis
    United Nations Economic Commission for Africa African Centre for Gender and Social Development (ACGSD) VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN AFRICA: A SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS Table of Contents Background Methodology Common Abbreviations Situation Analysis of Africa Algeria Angola Benin Botswana Burkina Faso Burundi Cameroon Cape Verde Central African Republic Chad Comoros Congo Cote D’Ivoire Djibouti Democratic Republic of Congo Egypt Equatorial Guinea Eritrea Ethiopia Gabon Gambia Ghana Guinea Bissau Guinea Kenya Lesotho Liberia Libya Madagascar Malawi Mali Mauritania Mauritius Morocco Mozambique Namibia Niger Nigeria Rwanda Sao Tome and Principe Senegal Seychelles Sierra Leone Somalia South Africa Sudan Swaziland Tanzania Togo Tunisia Uganda Zambia Zimbabwe Background Violence against women is perhaps the most widespread and socially tolerated of human rights violations, cutting across borders, race, class, ethnicity and religion. The impact of gender-based violence (GBV) is devastating. The individual women who are victims of such violence often experience life-long emotional distress, mental health problems and poor reproductive health, as well as being at higher risk of acquiring HIV and intensive long-term users of health services. In addition, the cost to women, their children, families and communities is a significant obstacle to reducing poverty, achieving gender equality and ensuring a peaceful transition for post-conflict societies. This, in conjunction with the mental and physical health implications of gender-based violence, impacts on a state or region’s ability to develop and construct a stable, productive society, or reconstruct a country in the wake of conflict. Gender-based violence in Africa, as elsewhere in the world, is a complex issue that has as its root the structural inequalities between men and women that result in the persistence of power differentials between the sexes.

NELSON School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London ABSTRACT In both Pakistan and Bangladesh, most parents seek to provide their children with a ‘hybrid’ education, combining both religious and non-religious components (simultaneously). In Pakistan, however, the so-called ‘non-religious’ side of this education – for example, in government and non-elite private schools – tends to be associated with a particular understanding of religion, one that remains persistently apprehensive about the treatment of and, in many ways, even the acknowledgement of, religious, sectarian, ethnic, and linguistic diversity. Keeping this in mind, scholars and policy makers with an interest in the relationship between education and citizenship – particularly insofar as this relationship is tied to the challenge of cultural diversity – would do well to focus more of their attention on competing expressions of ‘religion’ in the context of (ostensibly) ‘non-religious’ schools.

  • Whose Body Is It?: Commercial Sex Work and the Law in Namibia
    Legal Assistance Centre “WHOSE BODY IS IT?” COMMERCIAL SEX WORK AND THE LAW IN NAMIBIA 2002 FUNDED BY AUSTRIAN DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION THROUGH THE NORTH-SOUTH INSTITUTE 1 OVERVIEW AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS “Prostitution”, or “sex work”, is an issue which is likely to arouse strong feelings in Namibia. This report is not intended to provide moral approval or condemnation of sex work – it does not attempt to say whether prostitution or sex work is “right” or “wrong”. The objective of this report is to provide information which can produce a more informed debate about sex work in Namibia, with an emphasis on the human rights aspects of the issue: • Chapter 1 explains basic terms and concepts and gives an overview of the topic. This chapter was drafted by Dianne Hubbard of the Legal Assistance Centre. • Chapter 2 reviews the relevant international documents, such as the Beijing Platform for Action and the UN Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and summarises Namibia’s international obligations in this area. This chapter was drafted by Leigh-Anne Agnew and Dianne Hubbard of the Legal Assistance Centre. Chapter 3 presents an historical look at sex work in Namibia. This chapter was drafted by Dr Rob Gordon, a Namibian-born anthropologist based at the University of Vermont who has done extensive research and writing on various aspects of Namibian history. Casper Eriksen gave valuable help as a research assistant in respect of this chapter. Chapter 4 explains the current legal position of sex work in Namibia. This chapter was drafted by Leigh-Anne Agnew and Dianne Hubbard of the Legal Assistance Centre.
