'The Status of the Girl Child under International Law is a remarkable book. Drawing on both law and semiotics theory it provides a rich, insightful study of the position of the girl child in international law. It is essential reading for those interested in children's rights; violence against girls; and gender and law.' Jonathan Herring, University of Oxford 'The Status of the Girl Child under International Law is a meticulously researched and timely exploration of the unique vulnerabilities and rights of the girl child within the framework of international law. What sets this book apart is its focused lens: rather than general discussions on children's rights or women's rights, it zeroes in on the intersectional and often overlooked status of the girl child - a demographic caught between global gender norms and age-based vulnerabilities. By highlighting the unique vulnerabilities of the girl child, the book fills a critical gap in global human rights discourse. It is a valuable resource for scholars, legal practitioners, and advocates committed to advancing the rights of girls around the world.' Julie Ada Tchoukou, University of Ottawa
