Unfinished Freedom: The Continuity of Colonial Violence without Accountability

This report shows that the regulation of African women's bodies is a deliberate structure that lacks accountability and connects colonial rule, postcolonial state-building, and the systems that govern gender, sexuality, and migration today. Across Kenya, Namibia, Germany, and the United Kingdom, African women continue to live within institutions shaped by a long history in which their bodies were managed, judged, and controlled rather than recognized as politically meaningful.
