Universal Mother: Transnational Migration and the Human Rights of Black Women in the Americas |
5 Journal of Gender, Race and Justice 197 (Fall 2001) |
You don't have to be teacher and nurse to be important. Women migrants often embody--literally--the absence, the breakdown, or the inequities of the international legal regime. War, global economic restructuring, human rights abuses, the persistence of gender oppression all over the world each play a role--alone, in combination, or alongside other...; Search Snippet: ...Universal Mother: Transnational Migration and the Human Rights of Black Women in the Americas Hope Lewis [Fna1] Copyright (C) 2001 Journal... |

He always humiliated me in front of our friends.

What the Violence Against Women Act Forgot: a Call for Women's Self-defense |
13 Yale Journal of Law & Feminism 175 (2001) |
When the issue of violence against women emerged as an issue in the early 1970s, feminists on both sides of the Atlantic responded by creating domestic violence shelters and rape crisis and counseling centers, in addition to agitating for legal reform. These strategies remain dominant in contemporary feminist thinking on how to combat violence...; Search Snippet: ...Journal of Law & Feminism 2001 Article What the Violence Against Women Act Forgot: a Call for Women's Self-defense Lisa R.
