Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more.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.

Recensioner i media

“Vijeyarasa’s book, . . . is a broad-ranging international survey of laws with particular ramifications for gender. Topics covered include familiar issues of concern to feminist scholars, such as gender-based violence, parental leave, and corporate quotas, as well as issues that are less familiar, including modern slavery, small-scale mining, gender-responsive budgeting and artificial intelligence.”
