- 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.

- Description
- This book aims to map the diversity of meanings of gender equality across Europe - including the European Union and member states such as Austria, the Netherlands, Hungary, Slovenia, Greece, and Spain - and reflects on the contested concept of gender equality. The different meanings of gender equality are explored comparatively in relation to the issues of family policies, domestic violence, and gender inequality in politics, while specific national contexts discuss the issues of prostitution (Austria, Slovenia), migration (the Netherlands), homosexual rights (Spain), and antidiscrimination (Hungary). Each chapter will provide insights on the ongoing theoretical and political debate about gender equality.

- Description
- The colonial ties of the Nordic countries are usually regarded as weak, their international relations being characterised by development aid, peace building or cooperation, rather than by colonialism or imperialism. This book presents a more complex analysis, introducing the concept of 'colonial complicity' to enlighten the ways in which the northern European countries continue to take part in (post)colonial processes: 'exporting civilisation' in the form of their national self-images in respect of welfare state models and achievements in gender equality. Analyzing the manner in which Nordic countries are marked by both cultural and economic colonial relations, it offers a perspective on the analysis of Europe and colonialism, along with its material, political and ethical consequences.With an analysis of welfare state practices and the effects of the gender equality discourse in relation to 'race' and ethnicity, this volume shows how images of achieved gender equality can be used to construct dichotomous divisions between the 'nation' and its 'others', 'us' and 'them'.
