Violence against Women under International Human Rights Law

Delve into the complex world of human rights with "Violence against Women under International Human Rights Law" by Alice Edwards. Published by Cambridge University Press in 2013, this insightful book spans 410 pages and offers a critical examination of the United Nations' legal frameworks addressing violence against women.

Edwards presents three compelling case studies that emphasize essential rights, including the right to equality and non-discrimination based on sex, the prohibition of torture and cruel treatment, and the fundamental right to life. These discussions not only highlight the gaps in the current legal protections but also empower activists and legal professionals to advocate for stronger measures against gender-based violence.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in feminist jurisprudence, international law, and the ongoing fight for women’s rights globally. Join Alice Edwards in illuminating the critical issues surrounding this pressing topic today.
