All over the world, women and girls are being denied their social, economic, political and civil rights. Women are being systematically discriminated against because of their gender. The aim of this book is to expose this structural discrimination across a range of areas where it occurs. The book also explores violence against women and looks at how the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa is linked to the denial of women's rights. Geraldine Terry looks at positive examples of women acting to transform inequalities and appression by asserting their rights. Terry argues that promoting wowen's rights is not only a moral issue but also a very effective way to pursue poverty reduction goals worldwide.
