This Commentary provides the first comprehensive and holistic analysis of the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence (the Istanbul Convention). It offers a complete article-by-article guide to the Convention with reference to the
explanatory report, the findings of the monitoring body (GREVIO) and relevant State practice.

• Contributions from more than 50 leading international academics and practitioners in the field.

• A set of thematic chapters dwelling on crucial issues such as intersectionality, reproductive rights, and cyber violence.

• Analyses of the content of each article against the background of relevant international documents such as the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and the Inter-American Convention on the Prevention, Punishment, and Eradication of Violence against Women.

This Commentary will be a vital resource for academics and researchers focused on preventing and countering violence against women, whether in the fields of public international law, gender studies, feminist legal studies, criminal law, or European law. Interdisciplinary in perspective and
intersectional in approach, lawyers, judges, state officials, policymakers and providers of victim support services will find the Commentary’s analysis an invaluable tool for the implementation of the Istanbul Convention.
Critical Acclaim
‘This book provides a masterful overview of the Istanbul Convention, with its article-by-article commentaries, critical assessments of its strength and weaknesses, and comparisons with other
legal regimes to combat violence against women. Taken as a whole, this book clarifies and illuminates, and is a necessary resource for anyone working in this area.’
