Description

A timely feminist intervention on gender, communication, and women’s 
human rights

The Handbook on Gender, Communication, and Women's Human Rights engages 
contemporary debates on women’s rights, democracy, and neoliberalism 
through the lens of feminist communication scholarship. The first major 
collection of its kind published in the COVID-19 era, this unique volume 
frames a wide range of issues relevant to the gender and communication 
agenda within a human rights framework.

An international panel of feminist academics and activists examines how 
media, information, and communication systems contribute to enabling, 
ignoring, questioning, or denying women's human and communication 
rights. Divided into four parts, the Handbook covers governance and 
policy, systems and institutions, advocacy and activism, and content, 
rights, and freedoms. Throughout the text, the contributors demonstrate 
the need for strong feminist critiques of exclusionary power structures, 
highlight new opportunities and challenges in promoting change, 
illustrate both the risks and rewards associated with digital 
communication, and much more.

    Offers a state-of-the-art exploration of the intersection between 
gender, communication, and women's rights
    Addresses both core and emerging topics in feminist media 
scholarship and research
    Discusses the vital role of communication systems and processes in 
women's struggles to claim and exercise their rights
    Analyzes how the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated structures of 
inequality and intensified the spread of disinformation
    Explores feminist-based concepts and approaches that could enrich 
communication policy at all levels

Part of the Global Handbooks in Media and Communication Research series, 
TheHandbook of Gender, Communication, and Women's Human Rights is 
essential reading for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in 
media studies, communication studies, cultural studies, journalism, 
feminist studies, gender studies, global studies, and human rights 
programs at institutions around the world. It is also an invaluable 
resource for academics, researchers, policymakers, and civil society and 
human rights activists.
