Billions of people linger at the bottom, denied their human rights and prospects for a better life. At the top, resources and privileges accrue at explosive rates, pushing the world ever further from the vision of equality embodied in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Right now, the combined wealth of the world’s Inequality is often understood in terms of income 2,473 billionaires, as calculated by Wealth-X, or wealth—the dividing line between the rich exceeds $7.7 trillion.

Unlike her brother or her more affluent relatives in the city, she is poised to be left behind by a world that is surging forward. As her life unfolds, she may go to school, but probably for fewer years than boys her age. Schooling may end prematurely because she is married young or expected to care for younger siblings. By the time she is an adolescent, she may know how to perform household tasks and cultivate a field, but little else that might help her one day join the paid labour force. If her brother can hope to travel to a city to find decent work, she is more likely to stay home and start bearing children before she even exits her teens. Giving birth at an early age is already risky, and the dangers will be compounded because her rural community lacks quality maternal health services. Looking ahead in her life, she can expect that at least some of the disparities she suffers will be transmitted to her children, particularly her daughters. Caught in a tangled web of inequalities, at some point she may get a glimpse of another world, one that is both better off and out of reach. It may make her wonder why she has so little, and so little opportunity for gaining anything more. 8 OVERVIEW OVERVIEW The case for a more equal world © Abbie Trayler-Smith/Panos Pictures THE STATE OF WORLD POPULATION 2017 9 Unrealized rights, unequal prospects No country today—even those considered that individual rights and dignity—including the the wealthiest and most developed—can equal rights of women and girls, and universal access claim to be fully inclusive, where all people to sexual and reproductive health and rights— have equal opportunities and protections, are necessary for the achievement of sustainable and fully enjoy their human rights. development.

While not necessarily at odds, these dual commitments nonetheless provide legal and symbolic resources for activists to advance contending visions for their states and societies. Using the case study of Malaysia, Constituting Religion examines how these legal arrangements enable litigation and feed the construction of a “rights-versus-rites binary” in law, politics, and the popular imagination. By drawing on extensive primary source material and tracing controversial cases from the court of law to the court of public opinion, this study theorizes the “judicialization of religion” and examines the radiating effects of courts on popular legal and religious consciousness. The book docu- ments how legal institutions catalyze ideological struggles that stand to redefine the nation and its politics. Probing the links between legal pluralism, social movements, secularism, and political Islamism, Constituting Religion sheds new light on the con- fluence of law, religion, politics, and society.
