THE CONTRIBUTION OF FEMINIST THEORY AND PRACTICE TO HUMAN RIGHTS
Resumo
While it was primarily been propertied, male, European thinkers who have advanced the idea of the individual subject worthy of rights, this essay argues that feminist theory and practice are the current driving force for the expansion of human rights. The article examines primary elements of feminist theory, particularly the intersectional approach and the critique of the public/private divide. It also examines feminist practices by taking the case example of the women’s movements in Brazil. The author calls for the recognition of feminist theory and practice as universalizing and expanding the narrow conceptions of the ‘human’ inherent in the initial writings and in jurisprudence.Referências
