Overview

Taking the Hippocratic paradigm as backbone of the analysis, the book conceptualises a new notion under international law, 'violence against women's health', which allows the reader to reflect on two interrelated dimensions of violence, the horizontal 'inter-personal' and the vertical 'State policies' ones, and on obligations States must abide by. -- .

'An impressive and invaluable academic attempt. By introducing an innovative idea of violence against women's health , this book - using medical metaphor: anamnesis, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis - reconceptualises the States' obligations in preventing and combating violence against women. This is sure to become the landmark work on the topic.' Professor Shuichi Furuya, Waseda University, Tokyo; Member of the UN Human Rights Committee -- .

Shuichi Furuya, Professor of International Law, Waseda University, Tokyo and Member of the UN Human Rights Committee 'Innovatively interrogating the concept of violence against women in international law, de Vido explores its neglected link with women's right to health, particularly reproductive health, reconceptualising state responsibility to emphasise obligations of result, women's autonomy and the justiciability of violations. The outcome is a compelling explication of the new concept of violence against women's health.'
