Respect, Protect and Fulfill: Legislating for Women’s Rights in the Context of HIV/AIDS – Volume One. Module 2: Domestic Violence

This project draws together international human rights law and illustrative examples from various jurisdictions as the basis for a legal framework to respect, protect and promote women’s rights in the context of HIV/AIDS. It is intended as a tool to assist advocates and policy-makers as they approach the task of reforming or developing laws to meet the legal challenges posed by the HIV epidemic. It is not intended for any one country or set of countries. The project focuses on sub-Saharan Africa, but it is designed to be adaptable to the needs of countries in other regions.

This project consists of eight modules in two volumes:

    • Volume One: Sexual and Domestic Violence
      1. Rape and Sexual Assault
      2. Domestic Violence

 

  • Volume Two: Family and Property Issues
    1. Marriage
    2. Domestic Partnerships
    3. Property in Marriage
    4. Divorce
    5. Inheritance
    6. Implementation Provisions
