Produktbeschreibung

Discrimination and harassment on the basis of one's sexual identity, continues to subsist, both in the law and in society. As a tribute to the courageous spirit of those who participated in the Stonewall Riot, this collection looks into the achievements, and the stalemate and obstacles that hinder them from materializing, in various countries in six different continents.

This book was previously published as a special double issue of The International Journal of Human Rights.
