[Infographic] Sub-national governance and the plight of women working in public spaces: Challenges and principles to improve policy and law making
The right to work in public spaces has recently become a highly contested issue. Women make up the majority of workers in public spaces in Africa and face several challenges including bureaucratic requirements, strict municipal by-laws, and having to strike a balance between survival and family responsibilities. Local governments generally do not include women public space workers in the policy making process, which further marginalises them. This infographic highlights some of the challenges of women working in public spaces in Africa and principles to improve policy making. The Dullah Omar Institute, Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative Africa and Kenyan Section of the International Commission of Jurists wish to acknowledge the Campaign to Decriminalise Poverty and Status for making this infographic possible.
