Written out : how sexuality is used to attack women's organizing

C. Rothschild, S. Long

In this report the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC) and the Center for Women's Global Leadership (CWGL) show how attacks on women's sexualities threaten all women's basic human rights to bodily integrity, to expression and to association - as well as undermine essential values of equality and dignity. The stories told here also show how women have refused to be silenced: how activists have met prejudice with courage, and hatred determination. With case studies from China, Costa Rica, India, Poland and Namibia.
