While gender-based violence is not a novel phenomenon, it has only recently come to the centre of global policy efforts. This book examines three pervasive forms of harmful practices prevalent across the world: child marriage, female genital mutilation and gender-biased sex selection.

The author measures policy progress made by select global programmes towards the eradication of these practices and offers crucial, practical guidance to accelerate change for the future.

Reviews for The Global Governance of Harmful Practices: Actors, Networks, and Knowledge Transfer in Transnational Gender Programmes

""Laura Rahm's book traces the lifeline of a policy, from its design to its implementation and evaluation. Utilizing network-actor theory, this study skillfully intertwines nuanced policy analysis with personal narratives from the actors, providing a unique contribution to the understanding of international governance. It is a compelling read for those interested in policy studies and gender analysis."" Christophe Z. Guilmoto, Institut de Recherche pour le Développement ""A bold analysis how global actors challenge entrenched norms about harmful practices, revealing the hidden politics and transnational knowledge battles."" Diane Stone, Chair of Global Policy, Florence School of Transnational Governance ""A powerful, timely study of how global gender policy gets produced and how knowledge-to-policy processes actually work. Rigorous, insightful, and expertly written. I highly recommend it!"" Ginette Azcona, former Research and Data Policy Specialist at UN Women, Research Fellow at The New School, Founder of KAIA Network
