Abstract
"These women’s sense of achievement at being seen as ‘real’ human beings – a state that apparently they had not experienced previously – shows that there is a deep hole in any discussion of human rights that does not explicitly – and I stress, explicitly – acknowledge and elucidate the specific position of women within the human community. Analysis that claims to include both women and men in a general rights framework hides the deeply gendered division of power and rights within communities everywhere. The result is a disaster for women’s human rights."
