Gender Equality in the Mirror

Gender Equality in the Mirror

Reflecting on Power, Participation and Global Justice. This book is edited by Elisa Fornalé. Ph.D, SNSF Professor and Gender Coordinator at the World Trade Institute, University of Bern.

By taking an innovative perspective, Gender Equality in the Mirror aims to advance the debate on gender equalities and to engage with the complexities of their practical implications in everyday life. Through the voice of women who are contributing with their life and work to the pursuit of the collective task of inclusion, the volume develops an original analysis of the socio-economic and political dimension of gender parity to frame implementing pathways of aspirational human rights principles. Gender Equality in the Mirror explores these dimensions with the ultimate aim of raising broad awareness of the need to invest in women’s empowerment for the construction of our society.

This book is edited by Elisa Fornalé. Ph.D, SNSF Professor and Gender Coordinator at the World Trade Institute, University of Bern. It contains a preface by WTI's Managing Director, Joseph Francois.

This book is part of the World Trade Institute Advanced Studies book series.

The open access publication of this book has been published with the support of the Swiss National Science Foundation.
