- Description
- This interdisciplinary collection from the Human Rights Quarterly brings together nineteen articles written on women's human rights. This reader focuses specifically on the challenges that women face and the efforts by individuals and organizations alike to ensure the protection of women under international law. The articles are organized into five sections that discuss the history and evolution of women's human rights, religion, violence, economic rights, and reproductive rights. The essays address such topics as the rights of women in the Middle East, rape camps in the former Yugoslavia, and abortion law in Ireland.
