Violence Against Women: International Legal Standards and Trends delves into the international legal framework's successes and failures in addressing gender-based violence around the globe. Gordana Gasmi examines how international legal standards and principles, enshrined in universal and regional instruments, have influenced the implementation of measures to combat violence against women. While the book addresses shortcomings, it also shines light on the positive transformative capacity of these standards, as evidenced by relevant case law and the practices of international courts and monitoring bodies. Underscoring the need to recognize the severe consequences of violence against women and the importance of promoting gender equality through legal mechanisms, this book is a valuable resource for scholars, academic libraries, experts from NGOs, legal professionals, and anyone interested in understanding the global challenges and legal responses to this pressing issue.
