- Description
- An estimated 35 million people worldwide are displaced by conflict, and most of them are women and children. During their time away from their homes and communities, these women and their children are subjected to a horrifying array of misfortune, including privations of every kind, sexual assaults, disease, imprisonment, unwanted pregnancies, severe psychological trauma, and, upon return or resettlement, social disapproval and isolation. .This collection brings these problems - and potential solutions - into sharp focus. Based on field research and a broad knowledge of other studies of the challenges facing women who are forced from their homes and homelands by conflict, this book offers understanding and problem-solving ideas.

- Description
- Geweld tegen vrouwen en meisjes is niet individueel, het is politiek, is de stelling van Lloyd-Roberts. Ze baseerde het op meer dan dertig jaar ervaring als televisieverslaggever voor de BBC. Haar werk bracht haar de hele wereld over. Hoe is het mogelijk, zo vroeg ze zich af, dat vrouwen in de 21ste eeuw nog altijd campagne moeten voeren voor een eerlijke behandeling? In dit boek neemt Lloyd-Roberts de lezer mee op reportage, van de besnijdenis van jonge meisjes in Gambia tot de grootmoeders van de Argentijnse Plaza de Mayo, van ’s werelds grootste openluchtgevangenis voor vrouwen (Saoedi-Arabië) tot de vrouwenhandel in Oost-Europa, van het ergste land om een vrouw te zijn (India) tot het huiselijk geweld in ‘ontwikkelde’ landen, van verkrachting als oorlogswapen in Bosnië, Birma en Afrika tot de salarisongelijkheid in de Westerse wereld.

- Description
- The twelve essays in this publication present a continuum of cases where the state enables violence against women - from state-sponsored torture to lax prosecution of sexual assault. Some contributors uncover buried histories of state violence against women throughout the twentieth century, in locations as diverse as Ireland, Indonesia, and Guatemala. Others spotlight ongoing struggles to define the state’s role in preventing gendered violence, from domestic abuse policies in the Russian Federation to anti-trafficking laws in the United States.

- Description
- ISIS houdt duizenden yezidi-vrouwen als seksslavin en behandelt ze als dieren. Er worden westerse vrouwen geronseld om een volgende generatie strijders te baren. Sommigen melden zich vrijwillig voor een speciaal politiekorps dat controleert of vrouwen de strenge mores wel naleven, in bruutheid doen ze niet onder voor de mannen. Al die vrouwen spelen een rol in de geschiedenis die op dit moment in Irak en Syrië wordt geschreven. Judit Neurink laat yezidi-vrouwen aan het woord die uit het kalifaat wisten te ontsnappen.

- Description
- This collection avoids the ‘reductionist' and 'essentialist' shortcomings of ‘feminism unmodified’ in rediscovering’ the peculiarity of feminist perspectives. In the introductory chapter, summarizing the state of the law on core aspects of sexuality and providing a critical appraisal of the key themes and concerns, the book analyzes and transcends the traditional dichotomised thinking about the regulation of gender issues. It addresses a broad range of key themes including: crime, the family and child, contract law, jurisprudence, public and international law.

- Description
- The industrialization of prostitution and the sex trade has created a multibillion-dollar global market, involving millions of women, that makes a substantial contribution to national and global economies. This book examines how prostitution and other aspects of the sex industry have moved from being small-scale, clandestine practices to become very profitable legitimate market sectors that are being legalised and decriminalised by governments. Jeffreys demonstrates how prostitution has been globalized through an examination of the growth of pornography and its new global reach, the boom in adult shops, strip clubs and escort agencies, military prostitution and sexual violence in war, marriage and the mail order bride industry, the rise in sex tourism and trafficking in women.

- Description
- Taking sexual violence in the form of rape and hetero-psychological/physical abuse, trafficking, and harassment as a point of departure, the authors of this book explore questions about the relationship between sexuality and violence in order to better understand the terms on which women's sexual suffering is perpetuated, thereby undermining their capacity for personhood and autonomy. The essays in this book study both the dynamics and consequences of sexual violence. The contributing authors blend the insights of postmodern critique with the common goal of theorizing and acting effectively against the material and psychic suffering perpetuated by the rigid rituals of gendered and sexed life.

- Description
- In national criminal law, rape is a type of sexual assault usually involving sexual intercourse by one person against another person without the other person's consent. When it becomes part of a widespread and systematic practice, rape - as well as sexual slavery - is recognized as a crime against humanity and a war crime. Rape is also recognized as an element of the crime of genocide when committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a targeted ethnic group. The book examines the case law of international criminal Tribunals and provides for a digest of cases related to this crime.
