Gender, Sexuality and Law is a punchy, interdisciplinary collection that speaks to one of the most debated themes of recent years and frames gender and sexuality as pivotal levers for human development. Authored by Global South scholars across law, political science, history, sociology and international relations, it brings evidence and argument from outside the usual North Atlantic axis and foregrounds how rights are claimed, contested and institutionalised in diverse legal–political settings.
Grounded in rights based theory and empirical research, the volume spans Argentina, Bangladesh, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Uganda, and Uruguay, and offers high salience case studies on sexual and reproductive rights litigation, adolescent pregnancy and public policy, women as architects of feminist peace in Colombia, the transnational spread of “gender ideology” discourse, reproductive rights gaps in Nigeria’s DDR programme on Transitional Justice, state shaped trajectories of LGBT rights in Brazil, Uganda and Uruguay, the gender stereotypes in criminal courts in Brazil and the role of technology in fostering gender inequality in the job market.
By connecting courtrooms, policy design and lived realities across three continents, the book resonates directly with the UN Sustainable Development Goals—health and SRHR, education and comprehensive sexuality education, gender equality, reduced inequalities, and peace, justice and strong institutions—while offering an indispensable Global South perspective for scholars, practitioners and policy makers. Its scope, originality and policy relevance position it as a conversation shaping book with clear adoption potential across Gender & Law, Human Rights, International Criminal Law, Transitional Justice, Law & Society, Development Studies and Global South Studies.
