Global Norms and Local Action
Author: Peace A. Medie
Publisher:
ISBN: 0190922966
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
Gender-based violence has been a key target of transnational advocacy networks since the early 1980s, and the United Nations has, in intervening years, passed a series of resolutions to condemn, prevent, investigate, and punish this violence. Member states have committed to implementing this agenda. Yet, despite this buy-in at the global level, implementation at the domestic level remains uneven. Scholars have found that states are more likely to translate global standards into national laws when pressured by women's movements and international organizations. However, a dearth of research on the implementation - at the national and street-levels - of these global gender violence norms hampers an understanding of what happens after states pass laws. In Africa, where most states have not prioritized the prevention of gender-based violence, and the majority of perpetrators act with impunity, there is a major implementation gap. This gap is acute in some post-conflict states on the continent. Thus, despite the presence of laws on various forms of gender-based violence in most African states, justice remains inaccessible to most victims.In this book, Peace A. Medie studies the domestic implementation of international norms by examining how and why two post-conflict states in Africa, Liberia and Côte d'Ivoire, have responded to rape and domestic violence with varying outcomes. Specifically, she looks at the roles of the United Nations and women's movements in the establishment of specialized criminal justice sector agencies, and the referral of cases for prosecution. Medie's study is based on interviews with over 300 lawmakers, government bureaucrats, staff at the UN and NGOs, police officers, and survivors of domestic violence and rape - an unprecedented depth of research into gender violence norm implementation in post-conflict states. Furthermore, through her interviews with survivors of violence, Medie describes not only how states implement anti-rape and anti-domestic violence norms but also how women experience and are affected by these norms.
