The law is a well-known tool in fighting gender inequality, but
which laws actually advance women's rights? This book unpacks the
complex nuances behind gender-responsive domestic legislation, from
several of the world's leading experts on gender equality. Drawing
on domestic examples and international law, it provides a primer of
theory alongside tangible and practical solutions to fulfil the
promise of the law to deliver equality between men and women. Part
I outlines what progress has been made to date on eradicating
gender inequality, and insights into the law's potential as one
lever in the global struggle for equality. Parts II and III go on
to explore concrete areas of law, with case studies from multiple
jurisdictions that examine how well domestic legislation is working
for women. The authors bring their critical lens to areas of law
often considered from a gender perspective - gender-based violence,
women's reproductive health, labour and gender equality quotas -
while bringing much-needed analysis to issues often ignored in
gender debates, such as taxation, environmental justice and good
governance. Part IV seeks to move from a theoretical goal of
greater accountability to a practical one. It explores both
accountability for international women's rights norms at the
domestic level and the potential of feminist approaches to
legislation to deliver laws that work for women. Written for
students, academics, legislators and policymakers engaged in
international women's rights law, gender equality, government
accountability and feminist legal theory, this book has tremendous
transformative potential to drive forward legal change towards the
eradication of gender inequality.
