'Compelling... brilliant but shaming.' CHERIE BLAIR, KC 'Crucial
reading for any person wanting to fight against all forms of
gendered abuse.' JESS PHILLIPS, MP 'This book is another brick
through the windows of our legal systems: a brilliant, trenchant
analysis of what is wrong with the law.' HELENA KENNEDY, KC We are
in a crucial moment: women are breaking through the cultural
reticence around gender-based violence. But just as survivors have
begun to feel empowered to speak out, a new form of systematic
silencing has made itself more evident: rich and powerful men are
using teams of lawyers to suppress allegations and prevent
newspaper stories from running. Individual women, advocacy groups
and journalists find themselves fighting against censorship. The
law is being wielded to reinforce the status quo of silence that
existed before #MeToo. If women cannot speak about their abuse -
and journalists are fearful of telling their stories - then how can
we understand the problem of gender-based violence in our society?
And how can we even begin to end it? In How Many More Women?
internationally-acclaimed human rights lawyers, Jennifer Robinson
and Keina Yoshida, examine the broken systems and explore the
changes needed in order to ensure that women's freedom, including
their freedom of speech, is no longer threatened by the laws that
are supposed to protect them.
