Women from the margins African Women, Religion, and Health - Essays in Honour of Mercy Amba Ewudziwa Oduyoye

This review discusses a book which describes the experiences of African women broadly in relation to health viewed from the perspective of African religious faiths and traditions. South Africa is increasingly becoming the home to refugees from other African countries. There is also an imperative for us to become familiar with the patterns of, and influences on women’s health in Africa, including their particular roles in relation to HIV and AIDS, as survivors and victims of gender-based violence, and their traditional roles as carers, nurturers and as healers.
