Rewriting the Rules considers what it would look like to write women's lives into law. 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, parental leave, 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 reconceptualizes lawmaking and demonstrates how rewriting the rules can be a lever for equality.
Ramona Vijeyarasa is Professor of Law at the University of Technology Sydney. She is author of The Woman President: Leadership, Law and Legacy for Women Based on Experiences from South and Southeast Asia and Sex, Slavery and the Trafficked Woman: Myths and Misconceptions about Trafficking and Its Victims.
