- Description
- 'In this report is shown how gender discrimination in nationality laws affects family unity, based on some of the key consequences identified during the research and illustrated through some of the testimonials collected. This will include exploring the problems stateless persons face in starting a family, unification problems, how the strains of lack of access to basic rights affects families both materially and psychologically, and how families have resorted to divorce and separation in a desperate attempt to reach a solution. .This report will also explain the background to gender discrimination in nationality laws and how it can lead to statelessness. After examining progress and challenges in each of the four countries analyzed, the report will conclude by offering recommendations that seem most applicable in the context to all relevant stakeholders. This report is based on interviews with 152 individuals across four countries: Kuwait, Jordan, Morocco and Egypt. These interviews were conducted with both national females and stateless men, women and children. .Most of the interviews were conducted in the affected families’ households.'

- Description
- 'This study examines whether laws address the issue of son preference adequately. It does this by looking at the text of the law and seeing whether there are any loopholes which need to be plugged. Since any law is subject to implementation and interpretation, the implementation of the law, particularly criminal law, by State actors like the police has been closely examined. Laws which seek to give certain rights to women, like inheritance rights under the Hindu Succession Act, have been reviewed to see whether they are effective or not. The manner in which these laws have been interpreted by the courts has also been highlighted. Positive judgements which advance the law as well as negative judgements, which reveal the inadequacy of the written law or the gender bias that exists amongst sections of the judiciary, have been studied. In addition, the study examines the laws which overtly fuel or permit son preference with the inevitable consequence of discriminating against girls and women. .And finally, the study also assesses the absence of laws in certain critical areas of discrimination and violence. The lack of laws in certain spheres in which the daughter faces discrimination means that she is not recognised as an equal human being. The lack of laws to deal with certain types of violence also reveals that certain forms of violence against girls and women do not get recognized or addressed by the law.'

- Description
- This volume is the result of an analysis carried out by various scholars working at the international level on the issue of Gender-Based Violence (GBV). It pays particular attention to domestic violence, as in this field feminism has tenaciously sought to change the condition of women and, as a result, many international policies have promoted a significant social transformation.

- Description
- 'In the first place, this paper provides a comparative legal analysis of the concept of equality. In the second place, attention is paid to the notion of positive action in EU law and, in particular, in the case law of the Court of Justice of the EU. This paper includes an analysis of the interpretative value of that case law to provide guidance for the adoption of positive action measures and the possible clashes with the international and national contexts. Finally, attention is paid to the recent actions adopted by the European Commission to promote gender balance in decision-making positions.'
