Confronting Global Gender Justice: WomenÆs Lives, Human Rights

Confronting Global Gender Justice: Women's Lives, Human Rights examines the most complex and demanding challenges facing theorists, activists, artists, and educators engaged in establishing women's rights as human rights and fighting to make these rights realities in women's lives. Issues addressed include: trafficking, AIDS, immigration, war-time violence, and legal battles.Pushing the boundaries of interdisciplinarity, this volume assesses current understandings of gender justice and offers new paradigms and strategies for discourses of victimhood, practices of representation, strategies of engagement, and legal landscapes that deal with the complexities of gender and human rights as they arise in international and local contexts.
