This groundbreaking book shines a light on a critical gap in the field of Business and Human Rights: the underrepresentation of women from peripheral countries. It begins by exploring how gender perspectives have shaped the development of this field—highlighting both theoretical contributions and practical tools aligned with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Special attention is given to how women’s voices have influenced these developments. The book offers a unique analysis of the systemic barriers that hinder the publication and visibility of academic work produced by women from the Global South and other marginalized regions. These include challenges such as the burden of unpaid care work, language barriers, time constraints, limited economic incentives, gender-based discrimination, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, lack of access to publishing information, bureaucratic obstacles, and maternity-related interruptions. By foregrounding these issues, the book not only amplifies voices that are too often unheard but also calls for a more inclusive and equitable future in business and human rights scholarship.
