Combining a comparative analysis of equal rights in the constitutions of all 193 countries with inspiring stories of activism and powerful court cases from around the globe, the book traces the trends in constitution drafting over the past half century, and examines how stronger protections against discrimination have transformed lives. Looking at equal rights across gender, race and ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation and gender identity, disability, social class, and migration status, the authors uncover which groups are increasingly guaranteed equal rights in constitutions, whether these rights on paper have been translated into practice, and which nations and protections from discrimination lag behind. As the book reveals, beyond countering discrimination, advancing equality requires fulfilling everyone?s fundamental rights to health and education, essential social and economic rights. Serving as a comprehensive call to action for anyone who cares about their country?s future, Advancing Equality challenges us to remember how far we all still must go for equal rights for all. 606 $aEquality before the law 606 $aConstitutional law 606 $aSocial rights 610 $acomparative analysis of equal rights. 610 $acomprehensive. 610 $aconstitutions of united nations countries. 610 $adisability. 610 $aethnicity. 610 $agender identity. 610 $agender. 610 $ainspiring stories of activism. 610 $amigration status. 610 $apowerful court cases. 610 $aprotections against discrimination. 610 $arace. 610 $areligion. 610 $asexual orientation. 610 $asocial class. 610 $atrends in constitution drafting. 615 0$aEquality before the law. 615 0$aConstitutional law. 615 0$aSocial rights. 676 $a342.085 700 $aHeymann$b Jody$f1959-$0872482 702 $aSprague$b Aleta$f1986- 702 $aRaub$b Amy$f1981- 702 $aMoseneke$b Dikgang$f1947- 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996359646703316 996 $aAdvancing equality$92288376 997 $aUNISA
