But as they grow more empowered, a new form of systematic silencing is becoming more evident: the spike in survivors speaking out is often followed by a spike in legal actions against them and the media.\n\nThe law is being wielded to reinforce the status quo that existed before MeToo. Significant passages in the first edition of this very book were blacked out due to the complex web of legal rules that impact women's ability to speak.\n\nNow, in this uncensored, unredacted edition, internationally acclaimed lawyers Jennifer Robinson and Keio Yoshida examine the laws around the world that silence women, and ask how we can ensure that their freedoms are no longer threatened by the legal system that is supposed to protect them.\n\nBecause we cannot act if we do not know. If women cannot talk about their abuse—and journalists are fearful of telling their stories—then how can we understand the problem of gender-based violence in our society? And how can we even begin to end it?\n\n\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eHow Many More Women?\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n'In this topical, urgent book, the authors call for lawmakers to tackle the way the law silences and retraumatises victims, and how it might be changed.' \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Age\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n'Witty, gritty, insightful and true, this book is essential reading for all women.
