Description
Exposing the consequences and significance of the systematic maltreatment of women, and its systemic condonation, this book takes us into the heart of the international law of conflict to ask - and reveal - why the international community can rally against terrorists' violence, but not against violence against women.Tags

The various national and international legal systems are based on the male as norm. Therefore in certain ways the answer to the question in the title is, 'Not always, at least not in court.' The saddest part is how little has changed over the period these essays were written in.
One of these essays, any of these essays, is very good. I'm sure having them together is useful. Reading one after another is not. They are quite repeatitive.
