Gender and Law Conference Statement by Dr. K.Y. Amoako, executive secretary of the economic commission for Africa /
Statement by Dr. K.Y. Amoako, Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa at the Gender and Law conference. Dr. Amoako, on his remarks highlighted that, At the heart of this meeting is the goal of gender-equitable and sensitive human development and the implications of continuing constraints to women rights for the attainment of that goal. Many African women, particularly rural and urban poor women, therefore believe that their countries' legal systems are either irrelevant to their lives or constitute systems which reinforce constraints and inequities. The law must lead in moving women into decision-making positions and all governance mechanisms and processes.
