As many developing countries are facing increasingly higher levels of debt and economic instability, this interdisciplinary volume explores the intersection of sovereign debt and women's human rights.

Through contributions from leading voices in academia, civil society, international organisations and nations governments, it shows how debt-related economic policies are widening gender inequalities and argues for a systematic feminist approach to debt issues.

Offering a new perspective on the global debt crisis, this is an invaluable resource for readers who seek to understand the complex relationship between economics and gender.

Juan Pablo Bohoslavsky is Senior Researcher at the National Council for Scientific and Technical Research of Argentina (CONICET), National University of Rio Negro (CIEDIS).

Mariana Rulli is Senior Researcher and Professor of Political Science at the National University of Rio Negro (CIEDIS).
