Sumario: | This book, edited by Ana Gemma López Martín, examines the state of gender equality in the 21st century, questioning whether it is a reality or remains a utopian ideal. It explores the implementation and impact of the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), alongside other United Nations frameworks. The work is divided into three parts: philosophical and social foundations of gender equality, detailed analysis of women's rights under CEDAW, and current challenges such as child marriage, female genital mutilation, and gender-based violence. It also addresses the role of international cooperation in enforcing CEDAW and achieving Sustainable Development Goal 5. Through critical analysis, the book aims to assess if theoretical advancements have translated into practical equality, targeting scholars, policymakers, and advocates for women's rights.
