This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 License. It is free to read, download and share on Elgaronline.This incisive book presents a gendered perspective on chronic environmental emergencies including climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, and environmental degradation. Derived from the innovative concept of slow violence, the phenomenon of chronic environmental emergencies considers situational vulnerabilities and the disproportionate impact of these events on women.Providing an ecofeminist assessment of chronic emergencies, as well as their effects on actors, legal obligations, and possible remedies, the book examines the interplay between feminism, the environment, and international law. Chapters conceptualize environmental chronic emergencies, analysing their impact across time and in various contexts spanning slow-onset events, responsibility and liability, and due diligence obligations. The global contributor team uses gendered and post-colonial approaches to advance the legal debate beyond disasters to more subtle forms of oppression, particularly towards indigenous women and female health. Ultimately, the book looks ahead at new interdisciplinary avenues of research which address the gradual deterioration of ecosystems and its effect on insidious forms of oppression through deep-rooted structural inequalities.Shedding light on the social and legal elements of climate degradation, this book is a fundamental resource for scholars and students of environmental law, humanitarian law, and public international law. International lawyers and advocates for human rights will also benefit from the book's theoretical and methodological insights.

Violence against women is characterised by its universality, the multiplicity of its forms, and the intersectionality of diverse kinds of discrimination against women. Great emphasis in legal analysis has been placed on sex-based discrimination; however, in investigations of violence, one aspect has been overlooked: violence may severely affect women’s health and access to reproductive health, and State health policies might be a cause of violence against women.Exploring the relationship between violence against women and women’s rights to health and reproductive health, Sara De Vido theorises the new concept of violence against women’s health in international law using the Hippocratic paradigm, enriching human rights-based approaches to women’s autonomy and reflecting on the pervasiveness of patterns of discrimination. At the core of the book are two dimensions of violence: horizontal ‘inter-personal’, and vertical ‘state policies’. Investigating these dimensions through decisions made by domestic, regional and international judicial or quasi-judicial bodies, De Vido reconceptualises States’ obligations and eventually asks whether international law itself is the ultimate cause of violence against women’s health.An electronic edition of this book is freely available under a Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-ND) licence.
