Collection of essays on the oppression of Canadian women and girls carried out in the name of culture or religion, and the resulting tensions for many Canadians between embracing diversity and protection of human rights. Practices addressed include violence motivated by a desire to save family honour, forced marriage of girls and young women to men not of their choosing, and abortion for the purpose of avoiding the birth of a girl.
