Human Rights and Gender Based Violence in Asia

A Comparative Critical Analysis

About this book

This edited book adopts a prescriptive and culturally relative narrative to understand

and critique human rights within Asia. Simultaneously, it aims to understand how

human rights, especially, such as women's rights, are practised and protected by

Asian nations.

The book evaluates the realisation of Eurocentric human rights by Asian states in line

with their domestic needs and priorities. It delineates the alien nature of western

standards of human rights for Asia. Contributors focus on varied geographical

contexts including South Asia, China, and Vietnam. The chapters also cover the

protection of women's rights in conflict zones in Myanmar, Kashmir and Afghanistan,

as well as regional human rights mechanisms.

Covering a diverse region, this book will be of interest to researchers and students of

international human rights, feminism and gender studies, particularly in the Asian

context.
