This book maps various national legal responses to gender mobility, including sex and name registration, access to gender modification interventions, and anti-discrimination protection (or lack thereof) and regulations. The importance of the underlying legislation and history is underlined in order to understand the law’s functions concerning discrimination, exclusion, and violence, as well as the problematic nature of introducing biology into the regulation of human relations, and using it to justify pain and suffering. The respective chapters also highlight how various governmental authorities, as well as civil society, have been integral in fostering or impeding the welfare of trans per...

Compiling state-of-the-art research from 58 leading international scholars, this dynamic Handbook explores the evolution of feminist analytical and organising principles and their introduction into governance institutions in national, regional and global settings.
Reproductive healthcare is choreographically delivered—an intricate collection of seemingly disparate but deftly balanced elements all come together in a complex dance. It is choreographed in ways that presume that the person accessing it—the dancer-patient—will be, among other things, cisgender. As a result, trans people are altogether erased, systematically unanticipated, insufficiently accommodated, or understood only in relation to hegemonic, regulatory frameworks. Trans People and the Choreography of Reproductive Healthcare: Dancing Outside the Lines draws on data from a research study involving qualitative interviews and participatory photography with fourteen trans people from British Columbia, Canada. It uses dance as a metaphor to expose facets of the restrictive choreography of reproductive healthcare, and to document the improvisational tactics used by trans people in their pursuit of care that is competent, safe, and affirming.
This book explores convergences of legal doctrine despite jurisdictional, cultural and political barriers, as well as divergences due to such barriers, examining topics that are of vital importance to contemporary legal scholars. Written by leading experts from all continents, its 26 chapters present a comparative analysis of cutting-edge legal issues of the 21st century. While each of the countries covered stands alone as a sovereign state, in a technologically advanced world their disparate systems nonetheless show comparable strategies in dealing with complex legal issues. Several of the chapters show how, in addition to state normative production and state adjudication, a growing panoply...
No es exagerado decir que en muchos países occidentales las últimas décadas vieron el paso acelerado de "la familia modelo" –papá, mamá y sus hijos– a "los modelos de familia", que abarcan una diversidad creciente de conformaciones: monoparentales, ensambladas, extendidas, encabezadas por dos hombres o por dos mujeres, con tres progenitores, conviviendo o no, unidos en matrimonio o por otras formas de relación social. Mientras tanto, las políticas públicas de cuidado tendieron a quedarse varios pasos atrás de esos cambios. Como se sostiene en este libro, que viene a abonar un novedoso campo de investigación e intervención política en América Latina, es hora de cuestionar a l...
Este libro propone el análisis distributivo como alternativa para pensar el problema de la participación del derecho en la configuración del mundo y, en particular, en el papel del derecho frente a la situación de las mujeres. Su principal aporte es evidenciar los polos argumentativos en los que terminamos atrapados y revelar una tercera manera de entender los problemas reiterados en el análisis jurídico o en las ciencias sociales. En este sentido, busca intervenir en el campo de la teoría jurídica general y en el debate colombiano sobre el derecho. Coedición con la Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad de los Andes (Colombia).
An interdisciplinary, multifaceted look at feminist engagements with governance across the global North and global South Governance Feminism: Notes from the Field brings together nineteen chapters from leading feminist scholars and activists to critically describe and assess contemporary feminist engagements with state and state-like power.
