Colonialism deeply impacted traditional gender identities and roles that existed in Africa before colonial inception, and the colonialists classified traditional gender identities and roles in the Sub-Sahara region as primitive, resulting in new policies enacted to change and control gendered norms and sexual cultures of the region (Berger, 2003).
