This volume explores the relationships between legal pluralities and gender justices and injustices. Instead of asking whether they are “good” or “bad” for women, we understand legal pluralities as a social fact and analyse the way demands for gender rights are presented and responded to in different legal and quasi-legal settings. Case studies from Africa and Latin America critically explore the ways in which groups and individuals appeal to norms, instruments, processes and legal discourses to combat gender exclusion and marginalization.
