A research anthology edited by Mahnaz Afkhami, Yakin Ertürk, and Ann Mayer.
Summary: Around the world, discriminatory legislation often referred to as family law prevents women from accessing their human rights. This book demonstrates how women across the world are contributing to legal reform, helping to shape non-discriminatory policies and to counter current legal and social justifications for gender-based violence. Using case studies from around the world and interviews with prominent women's rights activists, the book provides a complex global picture of current trends and strategies in the fight for a more egalitarian society.
