Despite some significant advances in the creation and protection of
rights affecting women's health, these do not always translate into
actual health benefits for women. This collection asks: 'What is an
effective law and what influences law's effectiveness or
ineffectiveness? What dynamics, elements, and conditions come
together to limit law's capacity to achieve instrumental goals for
women's health and the advancement of women's health rights?' The
book presents an integrated, co-referential and sustained critical
discussion of the normative and constitutive reasons for law's
limited effectiveness in the field of women's health. It offers
comprehensive and cohesive explanatory accounts of law's limits and
for the first time in the field, introduces a distinction between
formal and substantive effectiveness of laws. Its approach is
trans-systemic, multi-jurisdictional and comparative, with a focus
on six countries in North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa and
international human rights case law based on matters arising from
Hungary, Portugal, Spain, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Peru and
Bolivia. The book will be a valuable resource for educators,
students, lawyers, rights advocates and policymakers working in
women's health, socio-legal studies, human rights, feminist legal
studies, and legal philosophy more broadly.
