Summary:"These essays, based on the 2002 Oxford Amnesty Lectures, are united in their belief that it is a serious human rights violation unjustly to penalize people because of their sex or sexual orientation. However, they adopt a wide variety of approaches to their subject-matter, and tackle the questions raised in very different ways. In consequence, they make important contributions to academic and practical debates about human rights, gender, and sexuality."--Jacket.
