'Impressive and invaluable. By introducing an innovative idea of “violence against women’s health”, this book reconceptualises the States’ obligations in preventing and combating violence against women. This is sure to become the landmark work on the topic.'Shuichi Furuya, Professor of International Law, Waseda University, Tokyo and Member of the UN Human Rights Committee'Innovatively interrogating the concept of violence against women in international law, De Vido explores its neglected link with women’s right to health, particularly reproductive health, reconceptualising state responsibility to emphasise obligations of result, women’s autonomy and the justiciability of violations. The outcome is a compelling explication of the new concept of violence against women’s health.'Dianne Otto, Chair in Human Rights Law and Director of the Institute for International Law and the Humanities, Melbourne Law School
