The Palgrave Macmillan/Amnesty International series aims to bring focus to the greatest human rights issues facing the world today. From human trafficking to poverty, terrorism to freedom of expression, this important series will examine the situation today, the path we took to get there, and the right solutions for the future. Millions of women throughout the world suffer violence, poverty and denial of their human rights because of their gender. This book looks at women's lives, to find out what happens when their rights are violated, but also what can be achieved when their rights are protected and equality upheld. It will look at such hot button issues as prostitution, violence, abortion rights, education, slavery, and pornography, among many others. «
