- 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
- For most of the 20th century, the study and practice of war and international relations focused on the security of states. The changing nature of conflict has led analysts toward an expanded concept of human security that focuses not only on the state but also the security concerns of the individual, including women. In 2000 the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 1325, which called for women s equal participation in promoting peace and security and for greater efforts to protect women, who are more exposed to violence during and after conflict than men. This book looks at the current state of knowledge on women, peace and security issues, including efforts to increase women s participation in post-conflict reconstruction strategies and their protection from wartime sexual violence. The authors also highlight the resolution s potential to advance the rights of women in a wide variety of spheres by including analysis of legal, economic, and policy implications. This volume underscores that much remains to be done at both a conceptual and

- Description
- This volume aims at a reality-check of the impressive to-dos list since the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 was adopted in 2000. The authors look at the gap between the aspirations and the reality, the ideal and the practice, the promises and the action, the euphoria and the despair. The volume compiles carefully selected essays woven around Resolution 1325 to tease out the intricacies within both the Resolution and its implementation.
