Since the late 1990s, development institutions have increasingly
used the language of rights in their policy and practice. This
special issue on feminist perspectives on politics of rights
explores the strategies, tensions and challenges associated with
'rights work' in a variety of settings. Articles on the Middle
East, Africa, Latin America, East and South Asia explore the
dilemmas that arise for feminist praxis in these diverse locations,
and address the question of what rights can contribute to struggles
for gender justice. Exploring the intersection of formal rights -
whether international human rights conventions, constitutional
rights or national legislation - with the everyday realities of
women in settings characterized by entrenched gender inequalities
and poverty, plural legal systems and cultural norms that can
constitute formidable obstacles to realizing rights. The
contributors suggest that these sites of struggle can create new
possibilities and meanings - and a politics of rights animated by
demands for social and gender justice.
