Women's Rights, or the lack thereof, is a multidimensional, worldwide phenomenon. Crucially, it often intersects with another violation of human rights: that of violence. Such breaches of human rights can leave victims suffering the fall out for years. This book engages with key questions about both gender discrimination and violence, aimed particularly at women, with the aim of providing a practical source that can be drawn on by lawyers, legal practitioners, and policy makers, but that will also be accessible to interested readers. Taking as its starting point the core issue of human rights within the European Union, the author explores the legislative and practical efforts that have been made to promote gender equality and combat gender-based violence, and she explores how these laws have impacted legislation in a Candidate Country, her own native homeland of Turkey. The volume analyses progress and challenges within both the EU and Turkey, assessing landmark and recent case laws and highlighting examples of good and bad practices to explore similar but often distinctive efforts and approaches to preventing gender-based discrimination. -- Provided by publisher.
