Gender and Human Rights

Abstract

In this book, chapters covering a range of areas including international law, rights, citizenship, queer theory, constitutional law, and migration studies bring fresh perspectives to gender and human rights. By relating women's international human rights to broader debates about feminism, rights and international society, this collection of chapters both provides an introduction to gender and human rights and offers a variety of theoretical perspectives and methods. The book addresses the fundamental questions of what feminist legal theory is, what rights are, who the subject of rights is and how a human rights document can be read in a gender-conscious way. It explores issues such as the legal regulation of sexuality and prosecution of collective sexual violence in the former Yugoslavia.
