Across the globe, a growing number of social movements, such as demonstrations in support of equal civil status or reproductive freedom and against sexualized violence, show that women's and gender rights are highly contested.

Local case studies examine the relevant structural, institutional, and socio-cultural causes of the global challenges to equality. This book follows an interdisciplinary approach and unites scholars from law, linguistics, cultural studies, history, social sciences, and gender studies in diverse contexts.

»Der Sammelband hält nicht nur viele Perspektiven und Themen bereit, er bietet auch mehrere Zugänge, insoweit unterschiedliche Erkenntnisinteressen bedient werden - von einführenden Überblicksdarstellungen, welche dennoch die dem Thema angemessene Komplexität nicht vermissen lassen, bis hin zu thematisch und methodisch spezifischen Einzeluntersuchungen.« Jonas Lang, Open Gender Journal, 20.12.2023 O-Ton: »Wir erleben weltweit Anfechtungen von Frauenrechten« - Alexandra Scheele im Interview bei, Schwarzwälder Boten am 08.03.2023. »sehr empfehlenswert für alle, die sich - innerhalb wie außerhalb des akademischen Feldes - mit aktuellen Entwicklungen und Herausforderungen gleichberechtigter Geschlechterverhältnisse auseinandersetzen und dabei an einem globalen Dialog interessiert sind.« Nadine Pollvogt, Femina Politica, 2 (2022) Besprochen in: www.centrum3.at, 6 (2022) https://pub.uni-bielefeld.de, 19.07.2022 www.hertz879.de/sendung/whose-rights-which-rights, 07.05.2021
