- Description
- This book examines the strength of laws addressing four types of violence against women - rape, marital rape, domestic violence, and sexual harassment - in 196 countries from 2007 to 2010. It analyzes why these laws exist in some places and not others, and why they are stronger or weaker in places where they do exist. The authors have compiled original data that allow them to test various hypotheses related to whether international law drives the enactment of domestic legal protections. They also examine the ways in which these legal protections are related to economic, political, and social institutions, and how transnational society affects the presence and strength of these laws.

- This resource guide responds to the gaps that exist in addressing the safety of women journalists online, that directly affects the quality of democracies and the right of society to access a plurality of information. The guide aims to assist states and provide guidance to all relevant stakeholders, including non-state actors, across the OSCE region in addressing online harassment and abuse against women journalists. After an introduction of the problem and a mapping of international human rights standards that support the safety of women journalists online, 40 actions are proposed to be implemented with one common gender-responsive approach.
