Rewriting the Rules considers what law would look like if it were written with women in mind. Examining both where the law stands today and the ground left to walk if it is to be truly equitable, Ramona Vijeyarasa takes readers on a global journey of gender-responsive lawmaking across seven legal domains: gender-based violence, shared parenting, corporate board representation, small-scale mining, budgeting, modern slavery, and artificial intelligence. A legislative tour of good and bad practice from every continent, this book affirms that law reform can make a gender-equal world possible.
