Women's Rights, Human Rights
This comprehensive and important volume includes contributions by activists, journalists, lawyers and scholars from twenty-one countries. The essays map the directions the movement for women's rights is taking--and will take in the coming decades--and the concomittant transformation of prevailing notions of rights and issues. They address topics such as the rapes in former Yugoslavia and efforts to see that a War Crimes Tribunal responds; domestic violence; trafficking of women into the sex trade; the persecution of lesbians; female genital mutilation; and reproductive rights.
Are Women Human?
More than half a century after the Universal Declaration of Human Rights defined what a human being is and is entitled to, Catharine MacKinnon asks: Are women human yet? If women were regarded as human, would they be sold into sexual slavery worldwide; veiled, silenced, and imprisoned in homes; bred, and worked as menials for little or no pay; stoned for sex outside marriage or burned within it; mutilated genitally, impoverished economically, and mired in illiteracy--all as a matter of course and without effective recourse? The cutting edge is where law and culture hurts, which is where MacKinnon operates in these essays on the transnational status and treatment of women. Taking her gendered...
THE PREVALENCE AND EXTENT OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN GULBARGA DISTRICT
Women have always been an object of gross and severe violence at the hands of man. The biological weakness of a woman makes her an easy prey particularly to whom it may concern; physical domination. She is often victim of physical and mental violence not only outside her home but also inside the home. Every society accepting the importance of equality of sexes has therefore, made affirmative provisions against gender discrimination.1 However, in spite of the enactment of these provisions, equality between men and women continues to be an elusive goal.
Disciplining Judges
Globally, countries are faced with a complex act of statecraft: how to design and deploy a defensible complaints and discipline regime for judges. In this collection, contributors provide critical analyses of judicial complaints and discipline systems in thirteen diverse jurisdictions, revealing that an effective and legitimate regime requires the nuanced calibration of numerous public values including independence, accountability, impartiality, fairness, reasoned justification, transparency, representation, and efficiency.
Directions in Sexual Harassment Law
div When it was published twenty-five years ago, Catharine MacKinnon’s pathbreaking work Sexual Harassment of Working Women had a major impact on the development of sexual harassment law. The U.S. Supreme Court accepted her theory of sexual harassment in 1986. Here MacKinnon collaborates with eminent authorities to appraise what has been accomplished in the field and what still needs to be done. An introductory essay by Reva Siegel considers how sexual harassment came to be regulated as sex discrimination. Contributors discuss how law can best address sexual harassment; the importance and definition of consent and unwelcomeness; issues of same-sex harassment; questions of institutional responsibility for sexual harassment in both employment and education settings; considerations of freedom of speech; effects of sexual harassment doctrine on gender and racial justice; and transnational approaches to the problem. An afterword by MacKinnon assesses the changes wrought by sexual harassment law in the past quarter century. /DIV

FROM SNAKE CHARMERS TO MOUSE CHARMERS: MODERN INDIA UNDER NARENDRA DAMODARDAS MODI
By the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi, the grandson of Jawaharlal Nehru, the government by the direct descendant of the Nehru Dynasty under the Indian National Congress (INC) came to an end. His widow, an uneducated Italian Christian, continued the Dynasty Rule under a Congress-led hotchpotch coalition called UPA, which was voted out of power in early 2014. During the decade-long UPA government, the Indian economy was in a shambles, mired in massive corruption indulged in by all its Ministers - each one vying with one another in looting the National Exchequer. In retrospect, looking back over the Dynasty Rule of nearly seven decades since independence under the INC Party, India could gain the...
