One of our most eminent lawyers and defenders of human rights answers with this urgent, authoritative and deeply shocking look at British justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eEve Was Shamed\u003c\/i\u003e Helena Kennedy forensically examines the pressing new evidence that women are still being discriminated against throughout the legal system, from the High Court (where only 21 percent of judges are women) to female prisons (where 84 percent of inmates are held for nonviolent offences despite the refrain that prison should be used only for violent or serious crime). In between are the so-called `lifestyle¿ choices of the Rotherham girls; the failings of the current rules on excluding victims¿ sexual history from rape trials; battered wives being asked why they don¿t `just leave¿ their partners; the way statistics hide the double discrimination experienced by BAME and disabled women; the failure to prosecute cases of female genital mutilation...the list goes on. The law holds up a mirror to society, and it is failing women.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe #MeToo campaign has been in part a reaction to those failures. So what comes next? How do we codify what we¿ve learned? In this richly detailed and shocking audiobook, one of our most eminent human rights thinkers and practitioners shows with force and fury that change for women must start at the heart of what makes society just.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47104326566128,"sku":"2940169187373","price":14.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169187373_p0.jpg?v=1763765724","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169187373","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
