One of our editors, @daanika.bsky.social, presented her excellent new book at Manchester Law School. Dr Kamal’s book explores how women in Pakistan articulate their experiences of domestic violence and the ways women are stigmatised/pathologised in courts. Read here: global.oup.com/academic/pro...

Dr. Daanika Kamal’s new book (OUP) reveals how Pakistani law discredits women who report domestic abuse. Based on 100+ cases, it offers a vital feminist legal critique. 🔗 global.oup.com/academic/pro...
