The Strengthening Gender & Women's Studies for Africa's Transformation
(GWS Africa) project web site is the first ever site, wholly dedicated
to the promotion and development of Gender and Women's Studies on the
African continent. The African Gender Institute has established

Africa' (due for web publication at the end of October 2002)

conferences attended
