"This is a substantive publication, whose primary task is to analyze international and regional human rights treaty legislation designed to eliminate gender discrimination and to secure gender equality. Divided into three parts, the publication presents a series of very thoughtful essays from a number of renowned legal experts on (a) what is gender equality; (b) how human rights treaty systems can advance the case of gender equality better; and (c) how can the concept of gender equality evolve continually to meet new social realities?..." (New York Journal of Books) "[A] solid account and does well to touch upon developments in recent years. Authors illustrate their theories on inequality and discrimination with the experiences of, for example, transgender women athletes, indigenous women and water access, the under-representation of women in clinical research and the spike in domesticviolence during the COVID-19 lockdown. The book therefore offers newcomers a foundational text while for others, it is a thought-provoking addition to the scholarship, with reconfigured theories on how to strengthen the institutional structures, both internationally and domestically, that have been designed to protect rights and particularly for those individuals currently left behind." (Asian Journal of Internaitonal Law) "Frontiers of Gender Equality is required reading for those wanting to learn about the evolution of gender equality law and where additional analysis is warranted to secure the democratic ideals of gender equality." (from the Foreword by Cecilia Medina Quiroga, Former Judge, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and former member and Chair, the UN Human Rights Committee)
