Human Rights of Women: National and International PerspectivesRebecca J. Cook University of Pennsylvania Press, 10 mar. 2012 - 656 pagini Rebecca J.

Their essays present a compelling mixture of reports and case studies from various regions in the world, combined with scholarly assessments of international law as these rights specifically apply to women. |
