ISS blog - BLISS
Professor Cathi Albertyn

New post on the ISS blog, BLISS. Written by Professor Cathi Albertyn, professor of Law at the School of Law, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa.

In a recent lecture at the ISS, Professor Cathi Albertyn of the University of the Witwatersrand discussed how South African women navigate civil and customary laws to claim women’s rights within culture.

In this blog post she shows that women in South Africa do not seek to oppose culture and custom, but desire equality within their own communities.
