The Handbook of Gender, Communication, and Women's Human Rights

A state-of-the-art exploration of the intersection between gender, communication, and women’s rights How do media, information, and communication systems intersect with women’s human and communication rights? Are they enablers of those rights? Or are they structural components of a social order in which women’s rights are ignored, questioned, or denied? The Handbook of Gender, Communication, and Women’s Human Rights is a timely intervention in contemporary debates on women’s rights, democracy, and neoliberalism. The first major collection on the subject published in the COVID-19 era, this unique volume addresses both core and emerging topics in feminist media scholarship and research, including intersectionality in communication, feminist activism in digital media, online misogyny and gender-based violence, feminist perspectives on communication governance, gendered disinformation in the platform society, gendered power in Artificial Intelligence, and much more. A transnational panel of feminist academics and activists demonstrates the need for strong feminist critiques of exclusionary power structures, discusses new opportunities and challenges in promoting change, analyzes how the pandemic has exacerbated structures of inequality, and explores feminist approaches to communication and data justice for the 21st century. Covering a wide spectrum of issues germane to gender and communication within a human rights framework, The Handbook of Gender, Communication, and Women’s Human Rights is essential reading for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, academics and researchers, policymakers, media professionals, and civil society and human rights activists.
