Synopsis

This edited volume examines the current representations of gender equality from a global perspective, alongside the themes of human rights and human development, while searching for an answer to the following question: How are rights to gender equality managed in a constantly changing world? Part one focuses on the human rights aspect of this question, incorporating the issues of law, policy, and culture, arguing that gender equality must be part of the full spectrum of human rights. Part two examines the broader themes of society, education, and family, examining women's right to equality against the backdrop of a digitally dominated society. Part three considers the role of justice in gender equality at both state and local levels, arguing that access to and the application of justice are vital in advancing women's rights and freedom from discrimination. This section also discusses access to healthcare, reproductive rights, gender violence, and human trafficking. Part four introduces real, practical actions that could help to achieve the equalities outlined in the previous sections, promoting universal education to accomplish gender equality for young people. The specific aim of this book is to provide both an academic and a political perspective on the issue of gender equality, while integrating the principles of ethics, law, and philosophy.
