In this volume 17 scholars approach women?s human rights globally, regionally and nationally, combining the perspectives of public and private international law in a hitherto unique manner. Comprehensive legal, culture-based and theoretical overviews are combined with analyses of topical issues, such as unbalanced sex-ratios, intercountry adoption, women as refugees or as "surrogate mothers", violence against women and cross-border enforcement of protection orders.
