Information in English

WLSA (Women and Law in Southern Africa Research and Education Trust) is a regional non-governmental organisation (NGO) that conducts research about women’s human rights in seven countries of Southern Africa: Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Information in English about the organisation can be found on the website of WLSA’s regional head office, situated in Lusaka, Zambia. (website temporarily not available)

Portuguese is Mozambique´s official language and it is the language used in our publications and on most of this website. However, much of our material is also available in English – and we will be adding more on a regular basis.
