DOWNLOAD EBOOKSince 1945 more than 20 international legal instruments dealing specifically with women have been modified or consummated, reflecting a growing international consensus on issues concerning women's role in society. This book is the first complete collection and examination of this group of documents. Dr. Hevener analyzes each of the agreements and assesses its likely impact on the legal status of women. Categorizing the documents according to their goals, she demonstrates the broad range of economic, social, and political concerns they cover and evaluates contemporary patterns and future needs they reveal. The book includes a table of ratifications organized by country and region.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book provides a critical history of influential women in the United Nations and seeks to inspire empowerment with role models from bygone eras. The women whose voices this book presents helped shape UN conventions, declarations, and policies with relevance to the international human rights of women throughout the world today. From the founding of the UN up until the Latin American feminist movements that pushed for gender equality in the UN Charter, and the Security Council Resolutions on the role of women in peace and conflict, the volume reflects on how women delegates from different parts of the world have negotiated and disagreed on human rights issues related to gender within the UN throughout time. In doing so it sheds new light on how these hidden historical narratives enrich theoretical studies in international relations and global agency today. In view of contemporary feminist and postmodern critiques of the origin of human rights, uncovering women’s history of the United Nations from both Southern and Western perspectives allows us to consider questions of feminism and agency in international relations afresh. With contributions from leading scholars and practitioners of law, diplomacy, history, and development studies, and brought together by a theoretical commentary by the Editors, Women and the UN will appeal to anyone whose research covers human rights, gender equality, international development, or the history of civil society.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWomen suffer from historic deprivations that have no bearing either on their social contributions or their capabilities. A number of issues important to women are also the subject of hot debate-child care, reproductive rights, pay equity, job discrimination, and others. To help redress these inequities it is important to remember that these concerns have already been dealt with on an international level through certain human rights documents that bear uniquely on women. This book serves as a documentary source for these documents. Context and perspective on the instruments are also provided, enabling readers to assess their impact and to think further about the issues raised by them. Divided into seven parts-the U.N. Charter and the International Bill of Rights; Employment, Remuneration and Education; Nationality; Marriage, Family and Children; Prostitution and Slavery; Political Rights; and All Discriminations-each instrument is preceded by a brief summary of its context. When a section contains several documents, there is a short additional statement that explains their interrelationship. The Appendix reproduces two inter-American conventions which bear on women's rights and identifies a number of international conventions which, though largely superseded by the instrument whose contents are included in this volume, bear some historical importance.
