WSP 312 - Women & Global Human Rights

Institution:

Northeastern Illinois University

Subject:

Women's Studies Program

Description:

Women's issues have recently been viewed through the lens of human rights. Increasingly they are inlcuded in the goals, programs and policies of international human rights organizations, from the United Nations to Amnesty International. This course will examine this shift in perspective and the impact it is having on women's lives worldwide. We will explore international human rights as they appply to women. What do we mean by "human rights"? How have these rights been socially defined, struggled over, and, in some cases, won? To what extent have women and women's rights been included in these conversations and struggles?
