Summary
"Maria Sjöholm examines the jurisprudence on gender-based harms in the European, Inter-American and African regional human rights law systems from the viewpoint of feminist legal methods and theories. By offering indicators relevant for gender-sensitive norm interpretation, Maria Sjöholm identifies inconsistencies in the current regional legal frameworks with regard to the protection of women concerning such harms as domestic violence, human trafficking, sexual violence, forced sterilization and restrictions on other reproductive rights. The book offers an in-depth account not only of the manner in which such harms have been integrated into general human rights law treaties, but also their categorization as human rights norms and the scope of attached state obligations"--Back cover.
