Human Rights Are Women's Right: Amnesty International and the Family
Hypatia 11 (1):105 - 134 (1996)
| Abstract | This essay examines why the recent recognition of human rights violations against women, as exemplified by Amnesty International's 1995 report on women, remains bound to the limitations of traditional approaches to human rights. The essay argues that despite Amnesty International's commitment to incorporating violations against women into its activities, it nevertheless upholds questionable assumptions about the gendered subject, gender relations within the family, and the relationship between the family and the state | |||||||||
