Produktbeschreibung

The book brings together scholars, legal practitioners and human rights advocates to examine the intersections between gender, violence and the state in Asian contexts. With diverse backgrounds, the contributors to this book bridge the divide between policy, laws and practice to offer a unique insight into both theoretical and practical responses to how gender-based violence is articulated and understood within communities and state institutions in Asian countries.
