This book describes the lack of attention to the human rights of women and indicates a range of issues where equal rights for women are still denied. The human rights of women as workers, prisoners should be (but more often are not), equal to those of male workers, prisoners. The gender gap between the recognition and enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedom is the main theme of this book. One specific purpose of this book is to provide women with information about those areas of law which are most likely to affect their lives. The book is divided into 14 chapters and deals with sexual assault, sexual harassment, domestic violence, custodial violence, dowry deaths, prisoners' human rights, women in prostitution, children in prostitution, women's right to property, etc.
