Human rights lawyers Jennifer Robinson and Keina Yoshida draw on their own case experiences and interviews with survivors, journalists, and human rights activists to examine how the legal system systemically fails to protect women.

In the wake of #MeToo, there has been more public attention on survivors of gender-based violence and abuse.

However, many of these cases have been silenced in the courts and held up to media scrutiny, which has led to women being disbelieved and victim-blamed.

Despite more awareness of these injustices, legal systems around the world continue to privilege rich and powerful men, governments, and public officials over the stories and lived experiences of women.

Jennifer Robinson and Keina Yoshida are international human rights lawyers based in the UK.

In their 2023 book, How Many More Women, the pair examine high-profile cases to expose how certain legal processes are designed to silence victims.
