Description

This section covers a whole range of human rights issues, including violence against women, trafficking and female genital mutilation. You will find several excellent new titles that show how activists are working to end gender-specific violence, including Breaking the Earthenware Jar, which offers lessons from South Asia, and With an End in Sight, which describes a number of successful initiatives from around the world. Our best-selling Rights of Women is also featured here. Titles on armed conflict and the peace process can be found in a separate section Combining scholarly essays with personal narratives, interviews and reports -- and situating sex workers as working people who should enjoy human rights and workers' rights -- this book reveals ho ordinary women and men in prostitution define and shape their struggle for social change and justice. Bibliography; list of contributing organizations.
