The introduction begins: "Women's human rights are violated constantly, in every society, in both private and public walks of life. ... One of the most positive ways of promoting the reality of women as full and equal members of society who deserve and demand recognition of their universal right to self-determination, to liberty and to security of person, is to provide a showcase for women who are actively participating in the various acts. This book of poetry and prose features work by the writers who participated in the first Scottish 16 DAYS of Activism Against Gender Violence Campaign, the aim of which is to promote women's rights as human rights."
