Course Content
The term women’s human rights (WHR) and the set of practices accompanying it have been at work for some decades, and very transformative as a result of the term serving as a locus of praxis. Despite their transformative power, they have been questioned in various ways in relation to the end of achieving greater gender equality. The course aims to relate to the term and accompanying practices in a self-reflexive fashion. First, either WHR and its practices or existing practices from within the perspective of WHR will be explored. Second, a critical analysis of the practices in question will be engaged .As part of this, the course deals with various relevant legal texts at the levels of the international, the EU and Turkey.
