The Journey to Gender Equality: Mapping the Implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action edited by Uzma Rashid is a collection of case studies, bringing together voices from different countries and continents to weave a picture that reflects the status of gender equality for people in these diverse contexts. It responds to the need for reflecting on the progress that has been made so far in the 25 years since the passing of this milestone, on how state and non-state actors have translated the declaration into practice, and what challenges were and are still being faced in the process and need to be addressed. This collection has been made possible through the support of Global Women Leaders - Voices for Change and Inclusion (GWLVoices), the Ibero-American General Secretariat (SEGIB), and the University for Peace.

As society we are always changing. Internet and the use of Information and Communication Technologies have accelerated changes in all aspects of our lives. Yet, this book is an attempt to look deeper into the areas where it has not been positive: gender-based violence. This book, Mapping Online Gender-Based Violence, by the University for Peace explores new expressions of online violence, virtual violence, which mainly, but not exclusively, affects women and girls. Throughout ten chapters, analyses are made on topics such as online harassment, revenge pornography, the role of civil society, micromachism, the prevention of digital violence, the role of social networks, and the construction of digital communities. Case studies on South Africa, India and Brazil are cited.
