| Summary: | �Baobab� is one of non-governmental women's human rights organization,
which focuses on women's legal rights issues under the three systems of law in
Nigeria, which are customary, statutory and religious laws (Sharia). This thesis will
focus on �Baobab�s� role in promote women�s human rights in Nigeria with
mobilize its resources i.e networking, media, and financial. Though networking both
nationally and internationally, �Baobab� build its capacity, gets grant (financial
support) and collective action support to make change for women. �Baobab� also
uses media as a tool for communication and attempt more pressure to local, state or
federal government to pay more attention and take serious actions in against violence
against women.
The attempt of �Baobab� in promote women�s human rights especially in
Sharia law, is not an easy work to do because �Baobab� have to face pro-Sharia
group, which called hisba, which have full support from state government like
funding and facilities. Hisba�s duty is to enforce Sharia law. The enforcement of
Sharia law by hisba often violates women�s human rights. This is exacerbated by the
fact that women are not aware of their rights so they tend to accept it. |
