phrase meaning - "In the wake of"

We are still in the wake of discriminatory laws against women and children.



I could not find a good dictionary definition that fits this usage of "in the wake of". But, the author of the sentence appears to be a non-native English speaker. Could the sentence, then, be poorly written?
