This timely book evaluates the implementation of the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence, otherwise called the Istanbul Convention, as part of ongoing debates on gender equality and human rights treaties compliance in Europe.

While identifying the Convention as the ‘gold standard’ in addressing gender-based violence (GBV), expert contributors also advocate for the role that academic research can play in understanding and providing solutions for persistent problems in its implementation. Through a comparative analysis of diverse case studies chapters highlight the complexities surrounding the ratification, implementation, and impact of the Convention. This book addresses key issues such as domestic violence, feminicide, rape, and forced marriage, illustrating how the treaty has been integrated into legal and institutional frameworks.

Academics and researchers in law, gender studies, human rights, political science, and European studies will benefit from the comprehensive analysis of this book. It is also a vital read for policymakers, legal practitioners, NGOs, advocacy groups, and activists involved in GBV prevention.
