Women's Human Rights, Transnational Feminism, and the Politics of Representation

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Just Advocacy? sheds light on the often overlooked ways that women and children are further subjugated when political or humanitarian groups represent them solely as victims and portray the individuals that are helping them as paternal saviours. It proposes a more nuanced and politically responsible understanding of human rights.
