| Summary: | Magister Artium - MA === Malawi is endowed with a progressive, transformative and comprehensive legal and policy
framework that guarantees the promotion and protection of human rights and justice for its
citizenry, including women. The country is a party to multilateral human rights conventions,
treaties, and protocols that strive to nurture and safeguard a culture that protects marginalised
groups and has, thus, enacted relevant laws to domesticate the instruments. However, studies
have shown that the legislative framework has not translated into practice that can create
meaningful impact on the lives of ordinary citizens. My study explored the experiences of
women that seek child maintenance through the Lilongwe Child Justice Court in Malawi.
