This volume investigates the efficacy and limitations of international and domestic legal frameworks in addressing sexual violence and rape. The editors, Clare McGlynn and Vanessa E. Munro, curate a collection of scholarly essays that evaluate how various jurisdictions define consent, coercion, and sexual autonomy. By synthesizing comparative legal analyses with feminist critiques, the text examines whether legislative reforms have successfully addressed systemic failures or merely reinforced existing power imbalances.
