Only a small percentage dare to challenge their mistreatment in court. Facing domestic police and judges who often refuse to recognize discrimination, a small minority of activists have exhausted their domestic\u003cbr\u003eappeals and then turned to their last hope: the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). The ECtHR, located in Strasbourg, France, is widely regarded as the most effective international human rights court in existence. Russian citizens whose rights have been violated at home have brought tens of\u003cbr\u003ethousands of cases to the ECtHR over the past two decades. But only one of these cases resulted in a finding of gender discrimination by the ECtHR-and that case was brought by a man. By comparison, the Court has found gender discrimination more frequently in decisions on Turkish cases. \u003cem\u003eCourting\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eGender Justice\u003c\/em\u003e explores the obstacles that confront citizens, activists, and lawyers who try to bring gender discrimination cases to court. To shed light on the factors that make rare victories possible in discrimination cases, the book draws comparisons among forms of discrimination faced by women\u003cbr\u003eand LGBT people in Russia and Turkey. Based on interviews with human rights and feminist activists and lawyers in Russia and Turkey, this engaging book grounds the law in the personal experiences of individual people fighting to defend their rights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisa McIntosh Sundstrom, Valerie Sperling, Melike Sayoglu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.20w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190932831\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLisa McIntosh Sundstrom\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of British Columbia. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eValerie Sperling\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Political Science at Clark University. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMelike Sayoglu\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Ph.D. Candidate at Clark University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":40322450423923,"sku":"9.78019E+12","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_9809e869-5060-4f2b-a0b5-59966b30e229.jpg?v=1659445968","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/courting-gender-justice-russia-turkey-and-the-european-court-of-human-rights-9780190932831","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
