As many developing countries are facing increasingly higher levels of debt and economic instability, this interdisciplinary volume explores the intersection of sovereign debt and women's human rights.
Through contributions from leading voices in academia, civil society, international organizations and national governments, it shows how debt-related economic policies are widening gender inequalities and argues for a systematic feminist approach to debt issues.
Offering a new perspective on the global debt crisis, this is an invaluable resource for readers who seek to understand the complex relationship between economics and gender.
"So, you thought sovereign debt concerns have nothing to do with gender? This book — with all its infuriating description and illuminating analysis — will show you how the emergence and attempts at resolving sovereign debt problems are deeply gendered, how they reinforce and accentuate multiple inequalities, and rely critically on placing greater burdens on women and girls. If only policy makers at all levels would not just read this book, but really take all its arguments seriously." Jayati Ghosh, University of Massachusetts Amherst
