A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Law University of Pretoria, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Masters of Law (LLM in Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa). Prepared under the supervision of Prof. Doutor Gilles Cistac, of the faculty of law, Universidade Eduardo Mondlane, Mozambique Women’s rights have been recognized by national, regional and international human rights instruments.

This paper aims to answer the question whether the current level of governments’ response to the plight of victims of obstetric fistula, complies with the requirements of international human rights law. It looks at whether the consideration of victims of fistula from a right-based approach will contribute to affordability and free access to treatment for women suffering from the disease http://www.chr.up.ac.za/ Centre for Human Rights LLM 2008-11-24T08:37:37Z 2008-11-24T08:37:37Z 2008 Mini Dissertation Hadiza, M 2008, The use of human rights model to address the problem of health care and reproductive rights of women, most importantly victims of obstetric fistula in Africa, LLM Mini Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/8057> http://hdl.handle.net/2263/8057 en LLM Dissertations Centre for Human Rights, Law Faculty, University of Pretoria application/pdf University of Pretoria |
