Ministers of Justice, gender focal points from U.N. agencies including civil society representatives from Eastern Africa are scheduled to hold a 3-day conference here next week to deliberate issues that impede the advancement of women due to inappropriate protective and enabling legislation. The conference, to take place from 23-25 October at the UN Conference Centre, is organized jointly by the African Centre for Women -- the Gender division of the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) -- and the Africa Region of the World Bank. Despite past steps taken by governments in East Africa to focus on the nexus between law, gender and economic outcomes, many areas remain where awareness not only needs strengthening but also existing research broadened and deepened.
