Abstract
<jats:p>The process of mainstreaming gender in the law curricula, which is presently ongoing at the University of Zambia, School of Law, UNZALAW, in this paper, spans the period 2015 to 2018. The programme began officially at the end of 2014 when the School, in collaboration with the University of Zimbabwe, University of Nairobi, University of Malawi and the University of Oslo secured funding under the Norwegian Higher Education and Capacity Building Project (NORHED) of the Norwegian Development Agency (NORAD). It is a process of building capacity in the School to enable the Faculty to teach law programmes with a gender perspective. There is anecdotal evidence that without undergoing any consciousness raising law students learn and accept the law’s essential truth as it has been constructed by centuries of male jurisprudence. Hence the need for a structured ‘engendering’ of curriculum and teaching methodology. The ultimate goal of ‘engendering’ curricula and capacitating the faculty with gender sensitive teaching methodologies is to graduate gender sensitive lawyers who will revolutionize and change the practice of law</jats:p>
