Court Companion on Gender-Based Violence Cases - Paperback
by Zarizana Abdul Aziz (Editor), Maria Cecilia T. Sicangco (Editor)
The Court Companion on Gender-Based Violence Cases navigates international law and Pakistan's domestic legal framework for an analysis of applicable legal norms to make justice more accessible to victims of gender-based violence.
Affecting one in three women in the world, gender-based violence is pervasive but invisible. Social taboos, patriarchal norms, and gender-unsensitized legal frameworks prevent victims from attaining justice. This publication is particularly useful for judges, prosecutors, and other justice sector stakeholders. It is also for anyone interested in pursuing justice, holding perpetrators accountable, and providing effective redress and reparation to victims of gender-based violence.
