Books by Sandra Fredman

An essential overview of the comparative study of human rights law. This book will introduce students, academics, and legal practitioners to the aims and methods of approaching human rights from a comparative perspective.

Women are still far from equal to men yet discrimination on the grounds of sex is unlawful. This book asks the question: why has the law had so little impact? It concludes that only when men and women participate equally in both family life and the paid workforce will real progress in the arena of sexual equality be made.
