Book Description
Through a comparative analysis involving 13 countries from Africa, America, Asia and Europe, this book provides an invaluable assessment of women’s equality at the global level. The work focuses on formal constitutional provisions as well as the substantial level of protection women’s equality has achieved in the systems analysed. The investigations look at the relevant gender-related legislation, the participation of women in the institutional arena and the constitutional interpretation made by constitutional justice on gender issues. Furthermore, the book highlights women’s contributions in their roles as judges, parliamentarians, activists and academics, thus increasing the visibility of their participation in the public sphere. The work will be of interest to academics, researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of Constitutional Law, Comparative Law, Human Rights Law and Women’s and Gender Studies.

Book Description
¿En que quedamos Supremo? La balanza de la justicia se inclina a favor o en contra, según se lo arrogue la ley y el derecho. La gente acude a los tribunales estatales y federales a resolver sus querellas y anhelan obtener justicia como una legitima aspiración consagrada en la Constitución y en la Carta de Derechos Civiles. Las sentencias que se dictan en los tribunales fundamentales, sea un fallo a favor o en contra, sera probidad para conformar una ulterior jurisprudencia. Así se ha construido el camino de la equidad y la justicia por siglos. En muchas ocasiones la balanza de la justicia se ha inclinado en contra de los derechos, sometiendo la justicia a intereses particulares, preferencias filosóficas y politicas, aun cuando el canon legal sea claro y evidente. ¿Cómo puede la ley ir en contra de la justicia? ¿Acaso la ley no invoca la justicia misma? ¿Adónde van a morir las demandas cuando los tribunales menores no interpretan acertadamente la ley? Al Tribunal Supremo de Justicia... Y siendo este el final del camino en busca de equilibrar la balanza. ¿En qué quedamos Supremo?

Book Description
Offering an important addition to existing critiques of governance feminism and carceral expansion based mainly on experiences from the Global North, this book critically addresses feminist law reform on violence against women, from a decolonial perspective. Challenging the consensus that penal expansion is mainly associated with the co-option of feminist campaigns to counteract violence against women in the context of neoliberal globalisation, this book shows that long-standing colonial narratives underlie many of today’s dominant legal discourses justifying criminalisation, even in countries whose governments have called themselves "leftist" and "post-neoliberal". Mapping the history of law reform on violence against women in Ecuador, the book reveals how the conciliation between feminist campaigns and criminalisation strategies takes place through liberal legality, the language of human rights, and the discourse of constitutional guarantees, across the political spectrum. Whilst human rights make violence against women intelligible in mainstream legal terms, the book shows that the emergence of a "rights-based penality" produces a benign, formally innocuous criminal law, which can be presented as progressive, but in practice reproduces colonial and postcolonial paradigms that limit and reshape feminist demands. The book raises new questions on the complex social and political factors that impact on feminist law reform projects, as it demonstrates how colonial assumptions about gender, race, class, and the family remain embedded in liberal criminal law. This theoretically and empirically informed analysis makes an innovative contribution to feminist legal theory, post-colonial studies, and criminal law; and will be of interest to activists, scholars and policymakers working at the intersections between gender equality, law, and violence in Latin America and beyond.

Book Description
Given the remarkable similarities between Burgos's critical analysis and recent feminist legal theory, her writings are still disturbingly relevant today. This study also explores the relationship between melodrama as a genre of manichean worldviews and law as a system of binary oppositions and discusses Burgos's subversion of the former as a means to criticise the latter."--Jacket.
