The Politics of Protection, based on research conducted in Afghanistan between 2009 and 2015, locates the struggles over gender violence in local and global power configurations. The author finds that aid flows and geopolitics have served as both opportunities and obstacles to feminist politics in Afghanistan. Showing why Afghan activists often chose to use the leverage of Western powers instead of entering into either protracted negotiations with powerful national actors or broad political mobilization, the book examines both the achievements and the limits of this strategy."--Provided by publisher. 606 $aSex crimes$zAfghanistan$y21st century 606 $aWomen$xViolence against$zAfghanistan$y21st century 606 $aWomen's rights$zAfghanistan$y21st century 606 $aWomen$zAfghanistan$xSocial conditions$y21st century 607 $aAfghanistan$xPolitics and government$y21st century 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aafghanistan. 610 $acontemporary. 610 $acourt case. 610 $afemale issues. 610 $afeminist studies. 610 $afeminist. 610 $agender inequality. 610 $agender. 610 $aglobal. 610 $agovernment. 610 $ainjustice. 610 $ainternational. 610 $ajustice system. 610 $ajustice. 610 $alegal issues. 610 $amiddle east. 610 $amodern world. 610 $apolitics. 610 $aprotection. 610 $arape. 610 $arunaway. 610 $asexual violence. 610 $aviolence against women. 610 $aviolence. 610 $awar on terror. 610 $awomen in afghanistan. 610 $awomens issues. 610 $awomens shelters. 615 0$aSex crimes 615 0$aWomen$xViolence against 615 0$aWomen's rights 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions 676 $a305.409581/0905 700 $aWimpelmann$b Torunn$0925016 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910219866103321 996 $aThe Pitfalls of Protection$92427857 997 $aUNINA
