This timely book analyzes recent developments and key questions related to violence against women under European human rights law, including the European Convention of Human Rights, the European Social Charter and EU Law instruments. It examines supranational standards and their complex interplay with national legal orders and realities.Combining academic, judicial and policy-making experience, the editors bring together a wide-ranging team of experts in the field to bridge the gap between theory and practice. They assess the situation of violence against women under European human rights law and explore solutions to the recent domestic backlash against the advancements made in this area, such as the adoption of the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence Against Women and Domestic Violence (Istanbul Convention). The authors draw on their knowledge and experience to provide valuable insights into the challenges associated with preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence, phenomena amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic that deserve special and immediate attention. Adopting a critical approach in their assessment of the law, they identify research gaps and future directions for the protection of women from domestic abuse and other forms of violence.Multi-faceted and rigorous in its analysis, this book is a significant addition to the library of scholars in human rights, public international law, criminal law and justice, family law, and gender studies. It is also a crucial resource for human rights lawyers, gender equality activists, and other practitioners working in the area.
