A place to live : gender research on housing in Africa
- 1996
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Be it a house or a makeshift, a shared or rented room, or a home of one's own, a place to live is central in surviving strategies of all urban households. In this volume the authors explore the gendered experiences of housing and housing rights in African countries. There are many differences but also many similarities in the pattern of women not having the same access and control over housing as men have. While women often are the bread-winners, they are also the home-makers, in the sense that it is women who put intense efforts in making a place home.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Since the re-instatement of a multi-party system in Zambia in 1991, approaches to finding solutions to housing shortages have changed significantly. Local government staff sees their new role primarily as facilitators of the improvement process. This role is promoted by the country's new National Housing Policy, the draft National Housing Development Programme and the draft National Decentralisation Policy. In view of these recent policy initiatives, a retrospective review of Zambian housing policy is presented, focussing on efforts to provide serviced land, private home ownership, overcoming tenure constraints and organising community participation and the support of non-governmental organisations. Case study evidence from George compound is used to illustrate the paper.

Women's responses to political changes in Southern Africa - common grounds and differences
- 1996
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The political changes in Southern Africa have meant different things for women and men and for women in different classes. The political transformation in Southern Africa is complex and shows a variety of characteristics so a short presentation like this is bound to be limited. On basis of a case study in urban Zambia I will argue that the trans- formation from a one- to a multi-party system has dismantled structures in which grassroots women had some influence, especially regarding their own township and environment, while a feminist movement led by educated women experienced some openings due to more liberal attitudes to NGOs. Political changes open up different possibilities and evoke different responses in different classes. A common ground is women ́s interest for legal protection against destitution and violence. I was also asked to comment on the situation in South Africa. And I like to tell the success story about how South African women, at a certain point in time, managed to bridge racial, ethnic and other contradictions in order to influence the constitutional reform process. The constitution principles were discussed widely in civil organisations, and today South Africa has i unique interim constitution that condemns discrimination on basis of gender or on sexual orientation.
