The stark reality is that throughout the world, women
disproportionately live in poverty. This indicates that gender can
both cause and perpetuate poverty, but this is a complex and
cross-cutting relationship.The full enjoyment of human rights is
routinely denied to women who live in poverty. How can human rights
respond and alleviate gender-based poverty? This monograph closely
examines the potential of equality and non-discrimination at
international law to redress gender-based poverty. It offers a
sophisticated assessment of how the international human rights
treaties, specifically the Convention on the Elimination of
Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), which contains no obligations
on poverty, can be interpreted and used to address gender-based
poverty. An interpretation of CEDAW that incorporates the harms of
gender-based poverty can spark a global dialogue. The book makes an
important contribution to that dialogue, arguing that the CEDAW
should serve as an authoritative international standard setting
exercise that can activate international accountability mechanisms
and inform the domestic interpretation of human rights.
