This book introduces six key influential feminist activists from Japan's contemporary feminist movement and examines Japanese women's experience of and contribution to the international #MeToo movement. Set against a backdrop of pervasive sexual inequality in Japanese society--on a scale that makes Japan an outlier in Asia as well as the rest of the advanced democratic world--this book offers a snapshot of Japan's contemporary feminist movement and the issues it faces, including, primarily, sexual violence and harassment of women and girls.

Afghanistan has been in the headlines for many years - but tragically for all the wrong reasons. First invaded by the Soviets in 1979, the country then experienced the trauma of civil war followed by yet another intervention, this time by the United States and allies, which ended with the West's ignominious withdrawal in August 2021. Afghanistan: Long War, Forgotten Peace examines multiple dimensions of what happened and why, and what the future holds for the country now the Taliban are back in power. Multidisciplinary in approach, this book features analysts from a variety of academic disciplines, including policy-makers and public intellectuals - many with direct experience of having lived and worked in Afghanistan. It explains why the Taliban finally triumphed, what this means for Afghan society, and how competing actors in the international system have reacted to the Taliban takeover. Questions include whether the West's withdrawal represented a major or only a temporary setback for NATO and the United States, and whether and how there can be any amelioration of the situation in Afghanistan itself. The country and its people face multiple interrelated challenges, including those of women's rights, the drugs economies and human trafficking and exploitation. This volume is essential reading for all those concerned with what happens in Afghanistan over the coming months and years, the consequences for the Afghan people - and for the rest of the world.

Women's rights have progressed significantly in the last two decades, but major challenges remain in order to end global gender discrimination. The unfinished revolution: Voices from the global fight for women's rights outlines the recent history of the battle to secure basic rights for women and girls, including in the Middle East where the hopes raised by the Arab Spring are yet to be fulfilled. This anthology opens with a foreword by Christiane Amanpour and features essays by more than 30 writers, activists, policymakers and human rights experts, including Nobel laureates Shirin Ebadi and Jody Williams. Most important are contributions from women who have fought against human rights abuses and have become agents of change. Contributors propose new workable solutions to ongoing rights violations including human trafficking and harmful traditional practices such as child marriage and female genital mutilation. As a whole, the book shows that the struggle for women's equality is far from over and is essential reading for everyone involved in the fight to realise the full potential for half the world's population.

Je sais que j'aurais mieux fait d'écrire un roman féminin. On aurait continué à me dire galamment dans les salons : - Ravi de vous connaître. Ma femme a adoré vos livres... Et j'aurais continué à esquisser un humble sourire de remerciement, résignée au fait que les auteurs à seins ne soient lus que par des lecteurs à seins. Les hommes lisent bien s-r, mais des livres d'hommes, des livres normaux, quoi ! Évidemment, mes livres à moi parlent d'amour. C'est un sujet si féminin... quand il est traité par une femme. Bien entendu, quand c'est Flaubert qui décrit l'amour, cela devient un sujet humain. Il n'existe pas de sujet masculin pour la raison irréfutable que la littérature masculine c'est LA littérature ! On a trop longtemps pris la parole de l'homme pour la vérité universelle et la plus haute expression de l'intelligence, comme l'organe viril constituait la plus noble expression de la sexualité. Il faut que les femmes crient aujourd'hui. Et que les autres femmes - et les hommes - aient envie d'entendre ce cri. Qui n'est pas un cri de haine, à peine un cri de colère, car alors il devrait se retourner aussi contre elles-mêmes. Mais un cri de vie. Comme celui du nouveau-né, dans lequel on ne peut s'empêcher d'enclore, à chaque fois, un nouvel espoir. Il faut enfin guérir d'être femme.
