Africa is a continent made up of many countries, jurisdictional areas, tribal controlled and governmentally controlled provinces and so forth, therefore a specific answer to the question is not possible. Suffice to note criminal and civil penalties are in most situations much more severe than in the United States. In some provinces women who commit adultry can receive the death penalty, trafficking in almost anything deemed illegal such as firearms can result in life imprisonment or the death penalty and discrimination between gender, social class, tribal affilitations etc. is common.
