There has been a widespread resurgence of rights talk in social and legal discourses pertaining to the regulation of family life, as well as an increase in the use of rights in family law cases, in the UK, the US, Canada and Australia. Rights, Gender and Family Law addresses the implications of these developments – and, in particular, the impact of rights-based approaches upon the idea of welfare and its practical application. There are now many areas of family law in which rights and welfare based approaches have been forced together. But whilst, to many, they are premised upon different ethics – respectively, of justice and of care – for others, they can nevertheless be reconciled. In this respect, a central concern is the 'gender-blind' character of rights-based approaches, and the ontological and practical consequences of their employment in the gendered context of the family. Rights, Gender and Family Law explores the tensions between rights-based and welfare-based approaches: explaining their differences and connections; considering whether, if at all, they are reconcilable; and addressing the extent to which they can advantage or disadvantage the interests of women, children and men. It may be that rights-based discourses will dominate family law, at least in the way that social policy and legislation respond to calls of equality of rights between mothers and fathers. This collection, however, argues that rights cannot be given centre-stage without thinking through the ramifications for gendered power-relations, and the welfare of children. It will be of interest to researchers and scholars working in the fields of family law, gender studies and social welfare.

Around the world, discriminatory legislation prevents women from accessing their human rights. It can affect almost every aspect of a woman's life, including the right to choose a partner, inherit property, hold a job, and obtain child custody. Often referred to as family law, these laws have contributed to discrimination and to the justification of gender-based violence globally. This book demonstrates how women across the world are contributing to legal reform, helping to shape non-discriminatory policies and to counter current legal and social justifications for gender-based violence. The book takes case studies from Brazil, India, Iran, Lebanon, Nigeria, Palestine, Senegal, and Turkey, using them to demosntrate in each case the varied history of family law and the wide variety of issues impacting women’s equality in legislation. Interviews with prominent women's rights activists in three additional countries are also included, giving personal accounts of the successes and failures of past reform efforts. Overall, the book provides a complex global picture of current trends and strategies in the fight for a more egalitarian society. These findings come at a critical moment for change. Across the globe, family law issues are contentious. We are simultaneously witnessing an increased demand for women’s equality and the resurgence of fundamentalist forces that impede reform, invoking rules rooted in tradition, culture, and interpretations of religious texts. The outcome of these disputes has enormous ramifications for women’s roles in the family and society. This book tackles these complexities head on, and will interest activists, practitioners, students, and scholars working on women's rights and gender-based violence.

Discover a Father's Courageous Fight Against a Biased Legal System and the Struggle for True Equality In "Goliath's Reckoning: Unveiling the Biassed Truth Behind Children's Court," embark on a profound journey through the complexities of South Africa's family courts, where one father's unwavering determination to protect his son becomes a powerful stand against state-sanctioned gender discrimination. This compelling narrative not only explores the personal sacrifices and legal battles faced by fathers but also serves as a comprehensive guide for navigating a system that often seems rigged against them. Key Highlights: A Personal Battle: Follow the author's deeply personal story as he confronts a legal system that favors mothers and marginalizes fathers, threatening the best interests of children. Inspired by his own experiences and those of other fathers, the author reveals the immense strength required to challenge deeply entrenched biases. Legal Strategies and Practical Insights: Gain valuable insights and practical strategies for self-represented litigants fighting for their parental rights. This book offers a roadmap for navigating the complexities of family law, empowering parents to advocate effectively for their children. Equality Before the Law: Explore the critical principle of equality before the law, a cornerstone of justice that empowers every citizen, regardless of their background or social standing, to hold the government and its institutions accountable. Learn how state-sanctioned discrimination—whether based on gender or race—undermines this principle and threatens the future of South Africa's children. A Call to Action: "Goliath's Reckoning" is more than a memoir; it is a call to action for all those who have felt powerless against a biased system. The author challenges readers to stand up for what is right, using the power of personal agency and the guiding light of the Constitution to create a fair and just society. Why This Book Matters: In a world where justice and equality are often compromised by well-intentioned but flawed redress policies, this book shines a light on the urgent need for reform. The author argues that true equality before the law must be restored to protect the best interests of the child and ensure that every parent, including fathers, has the opportunity to play an active and nurturing role in their child's life. Who Should Read This Book: Fathers and Parents: Seeking to understand their rights and navigate the family court system. Legal Professionals: Interested in the impact of gender biases in family law. Social Justice Advocates: Committed to fighting all forms of state-sanctioned discrimination. Readers: Who believe in the power of individual agency and the importance of equality before the law.

Published in 1998. This collection of papers, written by leading lawyers and sociologists in the UK, focuses on the relationships between gender and the law in the context of three areas of law: family law, criminal law and equal rights. The papers argue that gender roles within society affect the legal rights of individuals and impact on procedures they go through to enforce their rights or to gain redress for wrongs done to them. By failing to recognize the social and economic situations in which men and women are placed, the law perpetuates inequalities in their positions. Where attempts are made to ensure equality between the sexes, the result is often the exact opposite, because the legal system treats individuals as equals operating in a vacuum, ignoring the argument that equal treatment does not necessarily mean the same treatment, but can mean different treatment to ensure equality of result. Topics include: ¢ Disputes in the area of parental child custody rights ¢ The rights of surviving spouses to their deceased partner’s estate ¢ Theories for violent behaviour in women as contrasted with men ¢ Gender bias in criminal sentencing ¢ The role of European law in promoting sex equality in the work place ¢ Pornography and free speech ¢ Homosexuality as a civil right of citizenship

Bringing together an international range of academics, Gender, Sexualities and Law provides a comprehensive interrogation of the range of contemporary issues – both topical and controversial – raised by the gendered character of law, legal discourse and institutions. The gendering of law, persons and the legal profession, along with the gender bias of legal outcomes, has been a fractious, but fertile, focus of reflection. It has, moreover, been an important site of political struggle. This collection of essays offers an unrivalled examination of its various contemporary dimensions, focusing on: issues of theory and representation; violence, both national and international; reproduction and parenting; and partnership, sexuality, marriage and the family. Gender, Sexualities and Law will be invaluable for all those engaged in research and study of the law (and related fields) as a form of gendered power.
