Courting Gender Justice explores the obstacles that confront citizens, activists, and lawyers who try to bring gender discrimination cases to court. Drawing comparisons among forms of discrimination faced by women and LGBT people in Russia and Turkey, the book offers interviews with human rights and feminist activists and lawyers, grounding the law in the personal experiences of individual people fighting to defend their rights.
