    The African Journal of Women and Gender in Development (TAJWAGID) is a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal dedicated to exploring the complex intersections of gender, diversity, equality, sexuality, and power. We invite scholars from diverse fields to submit original research articles, review essays, and book reviews that contribute to a deeper understanding of gender's impact on social, cultural, political, and economic structures.

  • Gender and Higher Education: Perspectives, Challenges, and Innovations

    In many Sub-Saharan African countries, systemic barriers hinder equitable access to higher education, resulting in lower enrolment and retention rates for female students. These disparities are compounded by socio-economic factors, cultural expectations, and gender-based violence, which create an environment that is often unwelcoming or hostile to women pursuing higher education. Addressing these issues is not only a matter of social justice but also essential for the socio-economic development of the region. By highlighting the unique challenges faced by women and other marginalized genders in this context, this volume aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on gender equity and inclusivity in higher education.

    Furthermore, this book will showcase innovative practices and policies that have been successfully implemented to promote gender equity within academic institutions in Sub-Saharan Africa and beyond. We encourage contributors to share case studies, research findings, and theoretical perspectives that illuminate effective strategies for overcoming the barriers to access and success in higher education. By bringing together diverse voices and experiences, this volume aspires to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration, ultimately advancing the understanding of gender issues in higher education and inspiring actionable change across the region.
