While gender-based violence occurs in all societies irrespective of
the level of development or cultural setting, whether in conflict
or peacetime, the challenges for legal responses to gender-based
violence are particularly acute in Asia. This book addresses the
lack of academic discourse on gender-based violence in Asia beyond
domestic violence, by demonstrating that gendered violence exists
within many different contexts and is perpetuated by multiple
actors. Bringing together scholars, legal practitioners and human
rights advocates, the book examines the intersections between
gender, violence and the state in Asian contexts. It considers the
role of state institutions in perpetuating and preventing violence
based on gender and identity, and thus contributes to growing
scholarship around due diligence standards under international law.
Analyzing both physical and structural gender-based violence, it
scrutinizes how such violence exists within a landscape shaped by
distinct cultural norms, laws and policies, and grapples with how
to practically translate international human rights standards about
state responsibility into these complex domestic environments.
Contributors from diverse backgrounds draw on case studies and
empirical research to ground this academic scholarship in lived
experiences of individuals and their communities in Asia. By
bridging the divide between policy, laws and practice to offer a
unique insight into both theoretical and practical responses to how
gender-based violence is understood within communities and state
institutions in Asian countries, this book will appeal to students
and scholars of Asian studies, Gender Studies and Law.
