- Description
- Centraal staat de positie van vrouwen in verschillende culturen en de houding van wetenschappers en beleidsmakers tegenover culturele tradities: respect voor deze tradities kan leiden tot onverschilligheid jegens misstanden tegenover vrouwen. Voorstellen worden gedaan om op verschillende terreinen dit onrecht tegen te gaan.
