Abstract

This chapter will examine aspects of state policy towards black women in independent Zimbabwe. Although the woman question in state policy making is intertwined with more general social, economic and political questions, there are nevertheless areas of State policy which are specifically gender-based and which bear separate examination. These areas include laws affecting women’ female participation in production, fertility and the recent ‘clean-up’ campaigns.KeywordsBlack WomanRural WomanAfrican WomanState MachineryState Policy MakingThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
