Women's Rights, Gender Wrongs

Women's Rights, Gender Wrongs explores the diverse ways that the global spread of gender-identity ideology has affected all aspects of women's lives. Writers from all continents and all walks of life discuss its personal and professional impacts on many levels. They range from a myth-busting Brazilian academic to an Angolan lesbian, from a Canadian ex-prisoner to the mother of a gender-dysphoric teenager. They cover grassroots resistance in Japan, women's spirituality, and reproductive exploitation in South America. Writers consider the loss of single-sex and lesbian space, surrogacy, prostitution, men in women's prisons, children's and human rights. There are also personal stories of women's political activism and resistance. 35 Country Reports, which draw on the knowledge and local expertise of Women's Declaration International's world-wide contacts, detail the progress and setbacks for women's sex-based rights as set out by the UN in CEDAW (the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women) in 1979, and reiterated by the Declaration on Women's Sex-Based Rights. The reports expose how institutional capture by gender-identity ideology pervades many countries and every continent. Whilst there are some countries where gender-identityideology has not taken hold, women are nevertheless denied reproductive autonomy and still face widespread misogyny and discrimination. Contributors include Maria J Binetti, coach Linda Blade, Melissa Farley, Sheila Jeffreys, Carolyn Kost, Eva Kurilova, Maureen O'Hara and Lara Salvatierra. This book's unique international perspective shines a light into every dark corner. It is an essential feminist contribution to the global fight for women's sex-based rights.
