<p>This book addresses sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) against women from an international law point of view.

In the light of concerted global efforts to bring to an end, or at least severely contain SGBV against women, the book provides a&nbsp;future&nbsp;roadmap to the United Nations system, States,&nbsp;international institutions,&nbsp;multidisciplinary scholars, civil society organizations and other global actors.</p><p>The book contains a Foreword by Peter Maurer, President of International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).<br></p><p></p>
