Resumen

Este número especial marca la primera publicación de un proyecto internacional a largo plazo sobre el género en el derecho y los procedimientos consuetudinarios e indígenas. A partir de las observaciones sobre el silencio en torno al derecho consuetudinario y las diferentes percepciones de la desigualdad de género en el ámbito académico jurídico del África subsahariana, el proyecto reúne investigaciones sociojurídicas comparativas de África, Europa y otros lugares. Las contribuciones examinan cómo el legado colonial, el pluralismo jurídico y la globalización configuran las experiencias de género en ámbitos como la herencia, los derechos sobre la tierra, el matrimonio, la formación judicial y el acceso a la justicia. Destacando la capacidad de acción de las mujeres dentro de los sistemas jurídicos plurales, el número ofrece nuevas perspectivas teóricas y empíricas sobre las intersecciones entre género, derecho consuetudinario y derecho estatal.
