全球流动时代的性别与人权通过在人口贩运的多方面问题上运用女权主义观点,深入探讨围绕性别与人权之间关系的女权主义辩论。
基于对家庭奴役、商业性行为和军事承包商的劳动力贩运的分析,以及基于女性主义世界主义和关于脆弱性、不确定性和道德相互依赖的女性主义理论的交叉,劳拉·赫伯特做出了几项相互关联的贡献。当她探索女权主义性别分析如何阐明支持贩卖人口的结构和规范时,赫伯特同时考虑了女权主义权利倡导的未来。她强调人权的社会性,鼓励女权主义者学者和活动人士超越国家,将其视为人权的责任承担者,并假设人权主要通过在国家一级确立法律权利而变得有意义。她对“女权主义”可以简化为维护妇女权利的主张提出了质疑。她还鼓励批判性地反思与女权主义政治有关的分歧如何阻碍了在旨在实现所有人人权的分歧中建立女权主义团结的机会。

Gender and Human Rights in a Global, Mobile Era
Gender and Human Rights in a Global, Mobile Era delves into feminist debates surrounding the relationship between gender and human rights through engaging feminist perspectives on the multifaceted issue of human trafficking.
Building on analyses of domestic servitude, commercial sex, and labor trafficking by military contractors, and grounded in intersectional feminist cosmopolitanism and feminist theorizing on vulnerability, precarity, and ethical interdependence, Laura Hebert makes several interrelated contributions. As she explores how a feminist gender analysis illuminates the structures and norms enabling trafficking, Hebert simultaneously considers the future of feminist rights advocacy. Emphasizing the sociality of human rights, she encourages feminist scholars and activists to look beyond states as the duty-bearers of human rights and the assumption that human rights are made meaningful mainly through the establishment of legal rights at the national level. She challenges the idea that “feminism” can be reduced to advocacy on behalf of women’s rights. She also encourages critical reflection on how divisions associated with feminist politics have impeded opportunities for the building of feminist solidarities across differences aimed at the realization of the human rights of all.
Strongly interdisciplinary, Gender and Human Rights in a Global, Mobile Era will be of interest to students and scholars throughout the social sciences and humanities.
