Women and the Judiciary in the Asia-Pacific
Melissa
Crouch (edited volume, Cambridge University Press)
The judiciary is an important institution in
efforts to overcome and address issues of inequality, discrimination and gender
injustice for women. The feminisation of the judiciary – both in its simple
meaning of entrance into the profession as well as its more substantive forms
of realising gender justice - is a core part of the gender equality agenda.
Acknowledging both the diversity of meanings of the feminisation of the
judiciary as well as the complexity of its social and cultural realisation,
this volume enhances the literature on women and the courts from the
perspective of the Asia-Pacific. Containing the first-ever empirical studies for
many of the jurisdictions covered, this book offers deeply grounded research of
the past and present challenges women face to entering the judiciary and
progressing their career, as well as advocating for women’s issues. From
individual stories of trailblazing women to sector-wide studies of changes in
gender composition of the judiciary over time, the original empirical research
in this book offers a timely reflection on the feminisation of the judiciary in
the Global South more broadly.
