Synopsis

This top-quality title is the latest in the highly successful WOMEN AND WORLD DEVELOPMENT series, sales of which have already passed the 20,000 mark. It looks at how the conventional view of women's rights as different and separate from human rights has impeded action to uphold their fundamental freedoms as human beings. Most violations of women's rights in practice remain unchallenged. The book describes the lack of attention to women's human rights and civil liberties at all levels, outlines what has been done so far to articulate and defend them, and proposes a plan of action.
