This book emerges from years of academic research, teaching, and engagement with gender justice movements. It is both a scholarly exploration and a call to action—a recognition that while legal institutions can be sites of oppression; they can also be reclaimed as instruments of liberation. The chapters that follow interrogate the promises and pitfalls of legal interventions in gender justice, ...from constitutional protections to international human rights treaties. This Book has been both challenging and deeply rewarding. It has required us to confront uncomfortable truths about the limitations of law while also recognizing its transformative potential. Our hope is that readers will come away with a nuanced understanding of how gender, law, and human rights intersect—and how we might reimage these intersections to create a more just world.
