ISBN: 0939994984

For millions of women the 1990's have meant terror, deprivation, and the imperative of fighting for justice. Today, what unites women internationally - transcending class, race, culture, religion, nationality and ethnic origin - is their vulnerability to abuse of their fundamental human rights, and their dedicated efforts to claim those rights.Every year millions of women suffer every abuse and violation known to the modern world. Certain violations, such as rape, are primarily directed at women. The report highlights the situation of women in some 75 countries and shows how much work must be done if we are indeed to have "Equality by the Year 2000".
