- Research for this monograph was conducted over the course of six years. The author conducted a comprehensive assessment of how equality is, and could be, interpreted in CEDAW in order to provide an improved international legal framework to redress women’s poverty. In proposing a General Recommendation on women’s poverty, underpinned by rigorous doctrinal research, the analysis drew together the complex threads of gender, poverty, equality and human rights. To support its wide-ranging conclusions, the book drew on hard-to-access UN documents pertaining to the drafting and interpretation of the treaty, including Individual Communications.
