Focuses on rape and abortion in Swaziland in relation to cultural norms and traditional beliefs on the issue of access to legal abortion by rape victims. Also discusses the law on abortion in Ethiopia. http://www.chr.up.ac.za/ Centre for Human Rights LLM 2010-01-06T13:09:35Z 2010-01-06T13:09:35Z 2009 2009 Mini Dissertation Mavundla, SD 2009, Access to legal abortion by rape victims as a reproductive health right : case study Swaziland and Ethiopia, LLM Mini Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/12434> http://hdl.handle.net/2263/12434 en LLM Dissertations University of Pretoria application/pdf University of Pretoria
