dc.description.abstract | The year 1994 has important historical meaning for South African citizens. The 1994 election
marked the beginning of a new nation and a time of freedom and democracy. As part of the change
to a democratic society, the rights to gender equality and women's rights were incorporated in the
development of the new constitution. However, although our constitution provides a clause on
women's fundamental rights, women abuse is still a pervasive problem of enormous magnitude in
South Africa. South Africa has a strongly entrenched patriarchal system, which makes men in terms
of gender dominant and women subordinate. | en_US |
