TÍTOL: Women and Peace in Africa. Case studies on traditional conflict resolution practices
AUTORS: Varis
EDITOR: Unesco, 2003
IDIOMA: Anglès
FORMAT: PDF
CARACTERÍSTIQUES: Llibre, 127 pàgs.
SINÒPSI (EN IDIOMA ORIGINAL): The collection of case studies that follows results from work undertaken during the mid-nineties within the framework of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Women and Culture of Peace Programme (1996-2001). They vary in length and depth of analysis, and reflect the styles of the various authors. This variation is also reflected in the use of different methodological approaches to evaluate the role of women and peace in the six African cases and so present an interesting collage of traditional conflict
resolution and peace-building practices.

TÍTOL: “ When I dare to be powerful…” On the Road to a Sexual Rights
Movement in East Africa
AUTORA: Zawadi Nyong’o
EDITOR: Akina Mama wa Afrika, 2010
IDIOMA: Anglès
FORMAT: PDF
CARACTERÍSTIQUES: Llibre, 136 pàgs.
SINÒPSI (EN IDIOMA ORIGINAL): This publication breaks the silence regarding women’s sexuality. Governments, women’s rights activists and other social movements, often fail to understand the
connection between sex work, forced early marriage, land rights, poverty, education, property and
inheritance rights. We need to understand the politics behind sexuality, sexual rights and sex work because the liberation of all women, the equitable distribution of power and resources, and the ability to control our own bodies are indeed critical to our feminist agenda.
This breakthrough work is in line with AMwA’s core mandates of creating space for African Women to
SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. It allows sex workers to speak for themselves; claim their spaces and share their stories. “When I Dare to Be Powerful” redefines African sex workers; giving the power back to them and their struggles.

TÍTOL: Survivors. Women affected by gun violence speak out
AUTORS: Varis
EDITOR: IANSA, 2009
IDIOMA: Anglès
FORMAT: PDF
CARACTERÍSTIQUES: Llibret, 20 pàgs.
SINÒPSI (EN IDIOMA ORIGINAL):‘Survivors’ presents women’s experiences of gun violence in their own words. These experiences range from torture in Central Africa to domestic violence in Europe; from cross.re in Asia to grieving the loss of a murdered child in the Americas. Harrowing and at
times hopeful, the 16 stories paint a picture of the impact of guns on ordinary women’s lives.
Most of the stories take place at home. Unlike men, women are more likely to encounter gun violence in the home than in public places.

TÍTOL: Gender and the information revolution in Africa
AUTORES: Eva M. Rathgeber & Edith Ofwona Adera (eds.)
EDITOR: IDRC, 2000
IDIOMA: Anglès
FORMAT: PDF
CARACTERÍSTIQUES: Llibre, 266 pàgs.
SINÒPSI (EN IDIOMA ORIGINAL): Information is universally acknowledged to be a lynchpin of sustainable and equitable development. In Africa, however, access to information is limited, and especially so for rural women. The new information and communication technologies (ICTs), centred mostly on the Internet, provide potential to redress this imbalance.
The essays in this book examine the current and potential impact of the ICT explosion in Africa. They focus specifically on gender issues and analyze the extent to which women's needs and preferences are being served. The authors underscore the need for information to be made directly relevant to the needs of rural women, whether in the areas of agriculture, health, microenterprise, or education. They argue that it is not enough for women simply to be passive participants in the development of ICTs in Africa. Women must also be decision-makers and actors in the process of using the new ICTs to accelerate African economic, social, and political development.

TÍTOL: Fracture numérique de genre, une inquiétante réalité
AUTORS: Mohamed Soumare, Liberty Mhlanga, Raphaël Ndiaye, Mohamed Naciri
EDITOR: ENDA éditions, Dakar, 2005
IDIOMA: Francès
FORMAT: PDF
CARACTERÍSTIQUES: Llibre, 90 pàgs.
SINÒPSI (EN IDIOMA ORIGINAL): La recherche sur la fracture numérique de genre en Afrique francophone, réalisée par le Réseau genre et TIC, établit que, dans les six pays étudiés (Bénin,
Burkina-Faso, Cameroun, Mali, Mauritanie et Sénégal) les femmes ont globalement un tiers de chances en moins que les hommes de bénéficier des avantages de la société africaine de l’information et que les liens politiques entre les questions de genre et de TIC y sont largement méconnues. Les preuves quantitatives et qualitatives qu’elle présente, justifiant les alertes lancées par les spécialistes des questions de genre dans la société de l’information, appellent, de la part des décideurs politiques publics et civils, à la mise en œuvre d’actions pour une société plus juste et inclusive en termes de genre.

AUTORA: Anke van Vuuren
EDITOR: Leiden: African Studies Centre, 2000

FORMAT: PDF
CARACTERÍSTIQUES: ASC Working Paper no. 44, 50 pàgs.
SINÒPSI (EN IDIOMA ORIGINAL): This paper analyses the economic position of female heads of households in Ndala (Tanzania). It explores the differences between female and male-headed households and the survival strategies they adopt. It focuses on the household as an economic unit in which agriculture and non-agricultural income-generating projects are important. The acquisition of land, the supply and demand of labour, as well as income generation through agricultural and non-agricultural activities are the main focus of analysis. Fieldwork was conducted in Ndala in 1992-1996.

TÍTOL: Women Informal Traders in Harare and the Struggle for Survival in an Environment of Economic Reforms
AUTORS: Mupedziswa, Rodreck & Perpetua Gumbo
EDITOR: Nordiska Afrikainstitutet, 2001
IDIOMA: Anglès
FORMAT: PDF
CARACTERÍSTIQUES: Research Report 117, 124 pàgs.
SINÒPSI (EN IDIOMA ORIGINAL): This report summarises the results of the fourth and final round of interviews carried out among informal sector women traders in Harare, Zimbabwe as part of a longitudinal study of their conditions of work and livelihood in the context of economic crisis and structural adjustment.
The evidence which was available from the interview points to a deepening social crisis in Zimbabwe as attested to by the increasing crisis of subsistence and livelihood among the overwhelming majorette of the informal sector workers.
Far from being the terrain where sections of the populace might be able to find economic liberation, the informal sector is, in fact characterised by serious internal differentiation, very low incomes, and an over-saturation that results in the inability of the women survey to do anything other than struggle at the margins for basic survival.

TÍTOL: Young Female Fighters in African Wars. Conflict and Its Consequences
AUTORS: Chris Coulter, Mariam Persson & Mats Utas
EDITOR: Nordiska Afrikainstitutet, 2008
IDIOMA: Anglès
FORMAT: PDF
CARACTERÍSTIQUES: NAI Policy Dialogue , 51 pàgs.
SINÒPSI (EN IDIOMA ORIGINAL): Young women are combatants in contemporary African wars. They also participate in a whole array of different roles. However, by and large, they remain invisible to us. In fact, our hackneyed ‘Northern’ views on women’s innate non-participation in war prevent us from seeing the specific needs of young women during and in the aftermath of wars.
Issues of stigma, safe demobilization, and individual concerns about post-war marriage, health and education need to be addressed both in a more gendered way, and with an appropriate understanding
of young women’s agency in both peace and war. In this Policy dialogue it is argued that to improve policy and programming efforts it is necessary to broaden the understanding of young women’s roles and participation in armed conflict in Africa historically and today.

TÍTOL: Excision. Les jeunes changent l’Afrique par les TIC
AUTORES: Marie-Hélène Mottin-Sylla
EDITOR: Enda éditions, Dakar, 2009
IDIOMA: Francès
FORMAT: PDF
CARACTERÍSTIQUES: Série Etudes et Recherches, n° 266 , 126 pàgs.
SINÒPSI (EN IDIOMA ORIGINAL): Le projet TIC-MGF “Contribution des TIC à l’abandon des MGF
en Afrique de l’ouest francophone, rôle citoyen des jeunes” a été conçu et réalisé par ENDA Tiers Monde, avec le soutien du CRDI, avec la participation de trois associations locales de développement de trois villes secondaires du Burkina-Faso, du Mali et du Sénégal. Plusieurs activités combinant différents niveaux et méthodes de recherche, d’action et de formation, menées de
manière exploratoire, transdisciplinaire, et participative, ont mis en lumière qu’à l’heure de la société africaine de l’information, l’abandon des MGF en Afrique gagnerait à passer par l’intégration des jeunes et de la problématique de genre aux stratégies et politiques relatives aux MGF axées sur
l’exploitation des caractéristiques citoyennes des TIC. La société de l’information impose, en Afrique, une nouvelle vision du développement, axée sur l’innovation conceptuelle et méthodologique, la redéfinition de la gouvernance citoyenne selon les genres, pour atténuer la prégnance du système
patriarcal qui aliène les hommes, pénalise les femmes et marginalise les jeunes.
