| dc.description.notes | Drawn from a larger study conducted by Amnesty International and the University of Melbourne, the article discusses the use of human rights discourses by women working in rape and crisis centres in Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines. Recognises the political climate of the country in which the women worked played a role in the impact of their engagement with a rights discourse and provides a brief background to the geographical regions of the study. Discusses the major critiques of feminist approaches to human rights and the need to challenge mainstream approaches to human rights. Identifies certain themes which emerged from the study including the way in which using a human rights discourse placed many women in conflict with the state, the difficulties some women had with articulating violence against women as a human rights issue, and claims that human rights law does not adequately address women’s issues. Suggests that although human rights based strategies are being developed by women in these regions, before such strategies can achieve their full potential, the patriarchal nature of human rights law must be challenged and eroded. | en |
