The decades of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s produced an enormous range of literature and research focusing on women. The gender issue is coming of age in this decade of the 1990s, and is starting to become institutionalized at policy levels. In addition, more women in Africa have passed through secondary and higher education and millions of men and women have been sensitized to gender concerns through seminars and workshops, projects and print and telecommunications media. Middle and upper-class African women now travel more, stay in school longer, marry later and pursue careers both before and after marriage. Their lower-income, urban and rural sisters have long had to pursue income-generating activities and back-breaking physical labour to survive by necessity and help family to make progress. Refugee women and women living in war zones are commensurately worse off.
