Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study considers how localizing the integration of rights, cultures, and religion challenges the universality and secularization of the rights discourse and practice globally; the extent to which this bridges the disparity between the rhetoric and implementation of women's human rights in global and local contexts; and the embodiment of an Asian-Malaysian feminist standpoint epistemology that has the potential to reconcile the impasse of universal versus cultural relativism of rights. It offers a solution to the impasse of universalism versus relativism of rights in the rhetoric and practice of women's human rights.

Book Synopsis Women's Rights and Religious Law by : Fareda Banda
Download or read book Women's Rights and Religious Law written by Fareda Banda and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-12 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The three Abrahamic faiths have dominated religious conversations for millennia but the relations between state and religion are in a constant state of flux. This relationship may be configured in a number of ways. Religious norms may be enforced by the state as part of a regime of personal law or, conversely, religious norms may be formally relegated to the private sphere but can be brought into the legal realm through the private acts of individuals. Enhanced recognition of religious tribunals or religious doctrines by civil courts may create a hybrid of these two models. One of the major issues in the reconciliation of changing civic ideals with religious tenets is gender equality, and this is an ongoing challenge in both domestic and international affairs. Examining this conflict within the context of a range of issues including marriage and divorce, violence against women and children, and women’s political participation, this collection brings together a discussion of the Abrahamic religions to examine the role of religion in the struggle for women’s equality around the world. The book encompasses both theory and practical examples of how law can be used to negotiate between claims for gender equality and the right to religion. It engages with international and regional human rights norms and also national considerations within countries. This book will be of great relevance to scholars and policy makers with an interest in law and religion, gender studies and human rights law.

Book Synopsis Religious Fundamentalisms and the Human Rights of Women by : C. Howland
Download or read book Religious Fundamentalisms and the Human Rights of Women written by C. Howland and published by Springer. This book was released on 1999-09-03 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dialogue on the conflict between religious fundamentalism and women's rights is often stymied by an 'all or nothing' approach: fundamentalists claim of absolute religious freedom, while some feminists dismiss religion entirely as being so imbued with patriarchy as to be eternally opposed to women's rights. This ignores, though, the experiences of religious women who suffer under fundamentalism and fight to resist it, perceiving themselves to be at once religious and feminist. In Religious Fundamentalisms and the Human Rights of Women , Howland provides a forum for these different scholars, both religious and nonreligious, to meet and seek common ground in their fight against fundamentalism. Through an examination of international human rights, national law, grass roots activism, and theology, this volume explores the acute problems that contemporary fundamentalist movements pose for women's equality and liberty rights.
Book Synopsis Religion, Gender, and the Public Sphere by : Niamh Reilly
Download or read book Religion, Gender, and the Public Sphere written by Niamh Reilly and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The re-emergence of religion as a significant cultural, social and political, force is not gender neutral. Tensions between claims for women’s equality and the rights of sexual minorities on one side and the claims of religions on the other side are well-documented across all major religions and regions. It is also well recognized in feminist scholarship that gender identities and ethno-religious identities work together in complex ways that are often exploited by dominant groups. Hence, a more comprehensive understanding of the changing role and influence of religion in the public sphere more widely requires complex, multidisciplinary and comparative gender analyses. Most recent discussion on these matters, however, especially in Europe, has focused primarily on the perceived subordinate status of Muslim women. These debates are a reminder of the deep interrelation of questions of gender, identity, human rights and religious freedom more generally. The relatively narrow (albeit important) purview of such discussions so far, however, underscores the need to extend the horizon of enquiry vis-à-vis religion, gender and the public sphere beyond the binary of ‘Islam versus the West’. Religion, Gender and the Public Sphere moves gender from the periphery to the centre of contemporary debates about the role of religion in public and political life. It offers a timely, multidisciplinary collection of gender-focused essays that address an array of challenges arising from the changing role and influence of religious organisations, identities, actors and values in the public sphere in contemporary multicultural and democratic societies.

Download or read book The Liberal Bind written by Gila Stopler and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surveying the relationship between religion and the state in the US and in European liberal democracies the article distinguishes between five different facets of the relationship between religion and the state in liberal democracies - institutional differentiation between religion and the state, strong protection of religious liberty, the involvement of religion in politics, the extent of religious involvement in education and social services, and the levels of religious belief of individuals in society - and discusses how each of them affects women's right to equality. The article argues that contrary to common assumptions the relationship between patriarchal religion and the state in liberal democracies adversely affects the rights of all women, and that liberal states cannot live up to their commitment to women's equality without significantly changing their relations with patriarchal religions. The article concludes that liberal states need to take proactive steps to minimize the power of patriarchal religion and advance women's right to equality and that such steps are compatible with the liberal commitment to neutrality and toleration.
Book Synopsis Globalization, Religion and Gender by : J. Bayes
Download or read book Globalization, Religion and Gender written by J. Bayes and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-23 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1970s accompanying the current wave of globalization, conservative nationalist religious movements began using religion to oppose non-democratic and often western oriented regimes. Reasserting patriarchal gender relations presumably authorized by religion has been central to these movements. At the Fourth United Nations Congress on Women in Beijing in 1995, Muslim and Catholic delegations from diverse countries united to oppose provisions on sexuality, reproductive rights, women's health, and women's rights as human rights. In this book, scholars from eight different Muslim and Catholic communities analyze the political strategies that women are employing in these contexts ranging from acceptance of traditional doctrines to various forms of resistance, religious reinterpretation, innovation, and political action toward change and equal rights.

Book Synopsis Feminism, Law, and Religion by : Professor Elizabeth R Schiltz
Download or read book Feminism, Law, and Religion written by Professor Elizabeth R Schiltz and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-08-28 with total page 681 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With contributions from some of the most prominent voices writing on gender, law and religion today, this book illuminates some of the conflicts at the intersection of feminism, theology and law. Among the themes discussed are the cross-over between religious and secular values and assumptions in the search for a just jurisprudence for women, the application of theological insights from religious traditions to legal issues at the core of feminist work, feminist legal readings of scriptural texts on women’s rights and the place that religious law has assigned to women in ecclesiastic life. The book is essential reading for legal and religious academics and students working in the area of gender and law or law and religion.
Book Synopsis Theology and Feminism in Religion: Critical Analysis of Principles and Text Interpretation by : Leon Kabasele
Download or read book Theology and Feminism in Religion: Critical Analysis of Principles and Text Interpretation written by Leon Kabasele and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I believe that, fighting for money is foolishness but fighting for a woman is warfare. Every human being is a spirit, only physical appearance that makes human being different. Everything that a woman can do, a man can also do, they only think differently. A gender of someone does not make him/her to become useless but it is about the mind. What is inside of someone, also manifests outside. Everyone is capable to change the world according to what she/he is thinking. Judgmental is something that makes our world go backwards and many things will not to be improved. Religion does not have to be strong to take an action, in order to accept female in every organisation in it because religion can confuse many people with their different convictions. I spent many years observing women in different religions. I took many risks in different countries for women right in the religion area. I organised important conferences concerning women in the world.

Book Synopsis Divided by religion, united by gender: A socio-religious interpretation of the “Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women” by : Giuseppe Giordan
Download or read book Divided by religion, united by gender: A socio-religious interpretation of the “Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women” written by Giuseppe Giordan and published by Gangemi Editore spa. This book was released on 2019-04-04T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in Sociologia n.1/2018 - Rivista quadrimestrale di Scienze Storiche e Sociali dell'Istituto Luigi Sturzo, diretta da Andrea Bixio | The United Nations “Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women” (CEDAW) is a distinct international treaty for its integral character and radical provisions. It is integral in a sense of bonding together various spheres of women’s private and public life and not separating civil and political with economic, social, and cultural rights. It is radical by the requirement to change traditional gender roles in society in order to eradicate women’s inequality globally. Also, it could be considered as a particular treaty for not addressing religious freedom issues or even mentioning the concept of religion. The argument of Whiting and Evans (2006) that it is due to “the caution surrounding religious issues in the international sphere” (Whiting, Evans 2006: 12) the CEDAW does not deal directly with the religion, partly explains the absence of reference to the concept of religion and its derivations in the text of the treaty. The argument of Sullivan (1992) that conflicts and tensions between women’s rights and religious rights “set tenets of equality against values of liberty” (Sullivan 1992: 796) establishes other reasoning for neglecting religious rights and concepts in CEDAW. It raises the problem of “competing human rights values” (Sullivan 1992: 796) and absence of consensus in the international community on rights hierarchy. The first aim of this article is to briefly analyze the structural composition of the CEDAW with the attempt to rediscover the implicit presence of religion in the text of the treaty. Secondly, we examine the specific provisions of CEDAW which caused religious reservations by the State parties, considering zones of junction and tension between religion and women’s equality and socio-religious structural elements formulated in the reservations. Thirdly, the selected periodic reports of reserving states (on the examples of Egypt and Oman) together with the three periodic reports of Norway (as objecting state) are presented along with the new socio-religious dynamics emerging between CEDAW provisions and religion.
