Description
Helena Kennedy examines the pressing new evidence that women are being discriminated against when it comes to the law. Every seven minutes a woman is raped, and two women a week are killed by a spouse or partner. This unflinching look at women in the justice system challenges acquiescence to everyday sexism and inspires change. Kennedy reveals the shocking lack of female judges, the scandal of female prisons, and the double discrimination experienced by BAME women. She shows that change for women must start at the heart of what makes society just. A thought-provoking and timely analysis, this book is an important contribution to the ongoing conversation about women's rights and the law.
