Conclusion . 330 $aThis Open Access book aims to find out how and why states in various regions and of diverse cultural backgrounds fail in their gender equality laws and policies. In doing this, the book maps out states? failures in their legal systems and unpacks the clashes between different levels and forms of law?namely domestic laws, local regulations, or the implementation of international law, individually or in combination. By taking off from the confirmation that the concept of law that is to be used in achieving gender equality is a multidimensional, multi-layered, and to an extent, contradictory phenomenon, this book aims to find out how different layers of laws interact and how they impact gender equality. Further to that, by including different states and jurisdictions into its analysis, this book unravels whether there are any similarities/patterns in how these states define and utilise policies and laws that harm gender equality. In this way, the book contributes to the efforts to devise holistic and universal policies to address various forms of gender inequalities across the world. This volume will be of interest to scholars and students in Gender Studies, Sociology, Law, and Criminology. 606 $aSex 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aPolitical planning 606 $aGender Studies 606 $aHuman Rights 606 $aSocial Policy 606 $aPublic Policy 610 $aTransgender 610 $aGender-based violence 610 $aSocio-legal 610 $aReproductive rights 610 $aSex work 610 $aHate speech 615 0$aSex. 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 0$aPolitical planning. 615 14$aGender Studies. 615 24$aHuman Rights. 615 24$aSocial Policy. 615 24$aPublic Policy. 676 $a305.3 676 $a342.0878 700 $aGuney$b Gizem$4edt$01316707 702 $aGuney$b Gizem$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aDavies$b David$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLee$b Po-Han$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910574061903321 996 $aTowards Gender Equality in Law$93032741 997 $aUNINA
