WOMEN AND HUMAN RIGHTS : NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVES BY PRIYADARSHINI GAUTAM (HARDCOVER)

Women and Human Rights: National and International Perspectives examines the relationship between women’s rights and the broader framework of human rights from both national and international perspectives. The book explores the historical development, legal foundations, institutional mechanisms, and contemporary challenges surrounding the protection and promotion of women’s rights.

With particular attention to the Indian context, the book discusses constitutional safeguards, statutory provisions, judicial interventions, and national mechanisms designed to address discrimination, violence, inequality, and other violations of women’s rights. It also places these issues within the wider international human-rights framework, including major international conventions, declarations, institutions, and mechanisms concerned with gender equality and the advancement of women.
