Summary:Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. Sexual And Gender-Based Violence: A Global Concern -- Chapter 3. International Legal Protection Against SGBV -- Chapter 4. Role of the Cultural Factors in SGBV -- Chapter 5. Role of the International Institutions -- Chapter 6. Legal Challenges -- Chapter 7. Conclusions.
This book addresses sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) against women from an international law point of view. It identifies the reasons behind SGBV against women with a specific focus on cultural practices that try to justify it and highlights the legal challenges related to the topic for both national and international justice systems. The seven chapters of the book are: i) Introduction ii) SGBV a global concern; iii) International legal protection; iv) Role of international institutions; v) Role of cultural factors and vi) Challenges vii) Conclusions. In the light of concerted global efforts to bring to an end, or at least severely contain SGBV against women, the book provides a future roadmap to the United Nations system, States, international institutions, multidisciplinary scholars, civil society organizations and other global actors. The book contains a Foreword by Peter Maurer, President of International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
