No Tally of the Anguish
Study conducted chiefly in Uttar Pradesh.
Dignity on Trial
"Forensic examinations of rape survivors in India are riddled with problems, among them, the continued use of the finger test to gather evidence for investigation and trial. In the finger test, also known as the two-finger test, the doctor notes the presence or absence of the rape survivor's hymen and the size and so-called laxity of the vagina. The test is supposed to assess whether girls and women are 'virgins, ' or 'habituated to sexual intercourse.' Yet it does none of this. Unscientific, inhuman, and degrading, the finger test has no forensic value. Furthermore, a woman's past sexual experience has no bearing on whether she consented to the sexual act under investigation. Identifying gi...
"Work Faster Or Get Out"
"This 140-page report documents lax government enforcement of labor laws and brand actions that hinder monitoring and compliance. In recent years, wage protests, instances of garment workers fainting, and burdensome union registration procedures have spotlighted the plight of workers in Cambodia's garment factories"--Publisher's description.
“Paying for a Bus Ticket and Expecting to Fly”
"This report identifies key practices by clothing companies that fuel abusive cost-cutting methods by factories that harm workers. Many global brands tout their commitment to ensuring rights-respecting workplaces in the factories that produce their goods, but undercut their efforts with relentless pressure on suppliers to drive down prices or produce faster, Human Rights Watch found. Many suppliers respond to those pressures with abusive cost-cutting methods that harm workers."--Publisher website.
The Unfinished Revolution
“It’s a time of change in the world, with dictators toppling and new opportunities rising, but any revolution that doesn’t create equality for women will be incomplete. The time has come to realize the full potential of half the world’s population.” —Christiane Amanpour, from the foreword The Unfinished Revolution tells the story of the global struggle to secure basic rights for women and girls, including in the Middle East where the Arab Spring raised high hopes, but the political revolutions are so far insufficient to guarantee progress. Around the world, women and girls are trafficked into forced labor and sex slavery, trapped in conflict zones where rape is a weapon of war, p...
"Will I Get My Dues - Before I Die?"
"This 109-page report documents how the country's discriminatory and archaic personal laws impoverish many women at separation or divorce, and trap some women in violent marriages because they fear destitution. Current laws deprive women of an equal right to marital property. The limited entitlements these laws offer women are poorly enforced by family courts and local government arbitration councils. Female-headed households and women facing domestic violence struggle to access critical state support and social assistance. Together, these problems mean there is scant economic protection or security for women when marriages break down"--Publisher's description.
