Title Strategic litigation as a tool for abortion rights reform: Examining legal possibilities in common law African countries with restrictive political systems
Summary This thesis explores the potential for strategic litigation to advance abortion rights in politically restrictive common law African countries, focusing specifically on Nigeria, Uganda, Zimbabwe, and Eswatini. While existing scholarship often dismisses litigation in such contexts as futile, this research challenges that assumption by analyzing women's rights litigation cases that have succeeded despite political and judicial constraints.
