- Description
- This book explores how a small network of international development actors brings population control back to the center of public environment debate. Narratives about human rights abuses, racism and anti abortion were driven underground until now. The author shows how the population growth has been reframed as an urgent source of climate crisis and an opportunity to support women's sexual and reproductive health rights.

- Description
- In dit boek vertelt de auteur de geschiedenis van de internationale Graalbeweging, die in 1921 in Nederland werd opgericht als de Vrouwen van Nazareth, een lekengezelschap van katholieke vrouwen. De militante meisjes- en vrouwenbeweging kwam tot bloei in een herlevend katholicisme in het Interbellum, met het ideaal van de wereldbekering. Vanuit Nederland verspreidde de Graal zich naar verschillende Europese landen, de Verenigde Staten en Australië. Na de tweede wereldoorlog maakte het religieuze radicalisme langzaam plaats voor christelijke en praktische vorming. De Graal werd synoniem voor beroepsopleidingen in de verpleging, de wijk en het huishouden, en voor lekenmissie voor en door jonge vrouwen, zowel in Nederland als in Afrika, Azië en Zuid-Amerika. De auteur schetst hoe de Graal er via een langdurig en soms pijnlijk proces van zelfreflectie in slaagde om het ideaal van 'anderen overtuigen' om te buigen tot een van 'mondiale verbondenheid' en diversiteit.

- Description
- The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) is one of the most important human rights tools ever created. Adopted in 1979 by the United Nations General Assembly, it is often described as an international bill of rights for women. These essays and personal reflections, from individuals who have served on the committee that monitors CEDAW, introduce readers to the issues and the activism. .Only a handful of countries have refused to ratify CEDAW: the United States is the only industrialized country among them. This book reveals the profound impact the convention has had on women's lives around the world and its potential to affect American women. With examples and moving reminiscences from Japan to Tunisia to the Caribbean and beyond, this collection addresses CEDAW's impact on women in Islam, labor markets, migration, violence against women, human trafficking, women in politics, and more.
