Since the mid-1990s, increasing international attention has been
paid to the issue of violence against women; however, there is
still no explicit international human rights treaty prohibition on
violence against women and the issue remains poorly defined and
understood under international human rights law. Drawing on
feminist theories of international law and human rights, this
critical examination of the United Nations' legal approaches to
violence against women analyses the merits of strategies which
incorporate women's concerns of violence within existing human
rights norms such as equality norms, the right to life, and the
prohibition against torture. Although feminist strategies of
inclusion have been necessary as well as symbolically powerful for
women, the book argues that they also carry their own problems and
limitations, prevent a more radical transformation of the human
rights system and ultimately reinforce the unequal position of
women under international law.
