This chapter examines legal and governance innovations for advancing gender equality in environmental decision-making processes in postcolonial Africa. First, it evaluates how inequitable colonial, cultural, legal, social, and power relationships continue to create interlocking structures of gender-based ecological vulnerabilities in Africa, paying specific attention to Nigeria as a case study. It then discusses the need for a human rights–based gender framework as a policy tool for addressing gender-based environmental inequalities in Africa.
