Using a multidisciplinary approach, the contributors to this volume theorize and historicize the place of women's rights (and gender), situating it within contemporary country-specific political, legal, socio-cultural and global contexts. Chapters examine the progress and challenges facing women (and women's groups) in transitioning countries: from Peru to Argentina, from Kenya to Sierra Leone, and from Bosnia to Sri Lanka, in a variety of contexts, attending especially to the relationships between local and global forces. a  aTransitional justicevPost-conflict societiesvWomen -- Legal statusvWomen's rightsvHuman rightsvGendervNation-building aLahai, John Idriss aMoyo, Khanyisela 2ddccBK 00104070aNASSDOCbNASSDOCd2019-03-25eOPi2019-03-25l0o320.01 GEN-p50296r2019-08-30 00:00:00w2019-03-25yBK
