Abstract

Gender-based discrimination remains a significant issue in legal systems across North Africa, particularly within Zambian courts. Recent studies have highlighted varying degrees of gender bias and inequality in judicial outcomes. The study employs a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative content analysis of court decisions with quantitative data on gender-related case outcomes. Expert interviews and secondary research were also conducted to triangulate findings. The comparative study underscores the necessity for judicial systems to adapt and strengthen their laws to ensure fair and equitable treatment of all genders under the law. Recommendations include revising outdated legal statutes, training judges on gender-sensitive practices, and fostering public awareness campaigns to promote gender equality in Zambian courts.
