Download All the Interviews to Several Portable Hard Drives As There Was Not Enough Space on the Drive in My Laptop EXPLORING THE ROUTE FROM NAIROBI TO BEIJING PLUS TWENTY: FEMINIST ACTIVIST REFLECTIONS ON RIGHTS ADVOCACY by Susan Margaret Bazilli B.A., Queen’s University, Canada, 1978 LL.B., Osgoode Hall Law School, Canada, 1984 LL.M., University of British Columbia, Canada, 2010 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Law) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2019 © Susan Margaret Bazilli, 2019 The following individuals certify that they have read, and recommend to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for acceptance, the dissertation entitled: Exploring the Route from Nairobi to Beijing Plus Twenty: Feminist Activist Reflections on Rights Advocacy submitted by Susan Margaret Bazilli in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Law Examining Committee: Margot Young Supervisor Lisa Sundstrom Supervisory Committee Member Rebecca Johnson Supervisory Committee Member Nora Angeles University Examiner Debra Parkes University Examiner ii Abstract This dissertation consists of five written chapters and a film chapter. The thesis explores how a selected sample of feminist activists used certain international human rights mechanisms and processes within the United Nations (UN) over a thirty-year period, from 1985 to 2015, to achieve women’s equality and human rights. The findings document the opinions and perceptions of forty-five feminist activists working in the transnational feminist movement. The written chapters situate the historical context of that thirty-year time frame within UN world conferences, outline the methodology of the research process and the making of the film, and share the research findings. A review of feminist scholarship is provided on feminist movement theory, violence against women, and international human rights law and policy. The research shows that these feminists believe that engaging with the UN system has strengthened some women’s organizations and coalitions through networking and sharing of strategies. They think that their work has resulted in changes to the UN system itself and to international law and policy on issues of women’s rights, especially violence against women. They believe that global and local perspectives work together as part of a dynamic, intersectional paradigm, wherein different actions and objectives call for different strategies, both globally and domestically. The conclusion reviews current debates about whether and how the transnational women’s movement should continue to engage with the UN system. iii Lay Summary The thesis consists of five written chapters and a film chapter. The objective was to seek out the opinions of the selected forty-five women’s rights activists on how they saw working with the UN as a strategy to gain women’s equality. My research shows that the non- representative sample of interviewees believe that activism and advocacy must be done at both the international and local level in order to have the greatest impact on women’s lives. They believe that engaging with the UN system has strengthened women’s organizations and coalitions through the networking and sharing of strategies and ideas. They see changes to the UN system itself and to international law and policy on issues of women’s rights, especially violence against women. They believe that the work of feminist activism and advocacy must be done at both the international and local level, and that different strategies call for different actions, globally and domestically. The thesis concludes with a discussion of specific activities and events planned for 2020. iv Preface This dissertation is an original intellectual product of the author, Susan Margaret Bazilli.

The sex industry has become immensely protable, providing considerable resources, not just to individuals and networks involved in trafcking women but to governments who have come to depend on sex industry revenue. One aspect of the industry in particular that governments have come to depend upon for revenue is sex tourism (Bishop and Robinson, 1998). It is the concern of this paper to present a critical analysis of the arguments of the normalizers, whether sex in- dustrialists or their spokespersons, that sex tourism or other forms of prostitution should come to be seen as a legitimate leisure industry, one in which women and children are literally ‘men’s leisure’.

  • 6 Confronting Backlash Against Women's Rights And
    CONFRONTING BACKLASH AGAINST WOMEN’S RIGHTS AND GENDER 1 EQUALITY IN BRAZIL: A LITERATURE REVIEW AND PROPOSAL Cecilia M. B. Sardenberg 2 Maíra Kubik Mano 3 Teresa Sacchet 4 ABSTRACT: This work is part of a research and intervention programme to investigate, confront and reverse the backlash against gender equality and women’s rights in Brazil, which will be part of the Institute of Development Studies – IDS Countering Backlash Programme, supported by the Swedish International Development Agency - SIDA. This Programme was elaborated in response to the backlash against women's rights and gender equality that has emerged as a growing trend, championed by conservative and authoritarian movements gaining space across the globe, particularly during the last decade. In Brazil, this backlash has been identified as part of an ‘anti-gender’ wave, which has spread considerably since the 2014 presidential elections. Significant changes in Brazil have not only echoed strongly on issues regarding women’s rights and gender justice, but also brought disputes over gender and sexuality to the political arena. To better address the issues at hand in this work, we will contextualize them in their historical background. We will begin with a recapitulation of the re-democratization process, in the 1980s, when feminist and women’s movements emerged as a political force demanding to be heard. We will then look at the gains made during what we here term “the progressive decades for human and women’s rights”, focusing, in particular, on those regarding the confrontation of Gender Based Violence (GBV) in Brazil, which stands as one of the major problems faced by women and LGBTTQIs, aggravated in the current moment of Covid-19 pandemic.

Martinez & K Latham 5928 words inclusive The ‘caged torch procession’: celebrities, protesters and the 2008 Olympic torch relay in London, Paris and San Francisco Abstract Along with the opening and closing ceremonies one of the major non-sports events associated with the modern Olympic Games is the torch relay. Although initiated in 1936, the relay has been subject to relatively little academic scrutiny. The events of April 2008 however will have cast a long shadow on the practice. This paper focuses primarily on one week (6-13 April) in the press coverage of the 2008 torch relay as the flame made its way from London to Paris in Europe and then to San Francisco in the USA. It discusses the interpretations offered in the mediated coverage about the relay, the Olympic movement, the host city and the locations where the relay was taking place, and critically analyses the role of agencies, both for and against the Olympics, that framed the ensuing debate. 2 The ‘caged torch procession’: celebrities, protesters and the 2008 Olympic torch relay in London, Paris and San Francisco Introduction Any discussion of how a sports mega-event has been represented – visually, aurally or in print – raises questions of selection, representation and meaning.

  • Between Rebellion and Coalition Building Lynne Segal
    1 TODAY, YESTERDAY & TOMORROW: between rebellion and coalition building Lynne Segal Times change, and with them accounts of what is more likely to be seen as politically achievable, or perhaps ridiculous. There is near consensus that Britain at present is facing an ever-deepening recession, with economists such as Will Hutton disclosing that the UK is suffering the worst economic performance since the nineteenth century, while its recovery from the height of the banking crisis has been amongst the slowest in the world. Even the IMF warns that the extent of government’s spending cuts and refusal to invest in the public sector is forestalling growth and risking permanent damage to the economy.1 Moreover, there is widespread awareness of the distressing effects of public sector cuts on the most vulnerable people in the UK, with women hit hardest by job cuts in the welfare system, and half a million people marching against the cuts in March 2011. Yet in the UK there is nowadays less political cohesion, hope, or anything like an agreed alternative vision between the different forms of resistance to this Tory-led coalition than there was when Margaret Thatcher was elected at the close of the 1970s. With the ethos of market forces so comprehensively triumphant over the last thirty years, fear eats the soul of the British left. Even the once widely approved word, ‘socialism’, to describe the goal of the radically egalitarian, democratic society many of us hoped to build back in the 1970s, has largely fallen into disuse. Back 2 then, it was the Women’s Liberation Movement that exerted the strongest influence on my life, and feminism generally has ever since remained a part of every political move I make.

  • Prostitution, Trafficking, and Cultural Amnesia: What We Must Not Know in Order to Keep the Business of Sexual Exploitation Running Smoothly
    Prostitution, Trafficking, and Cultural Amnesia: What We Must Not Know in Order To Keep the Business of Sexual Exploitation Running Smoothly Melissa Farleyt INTRODUCTION "Wise governments," an editor in the Economist opined, "will accept that. paid sex is ineradicable, and concentrate on keeping the business clean, safe and inconspicuous."' That third adjective, "inconspicuous," and its relation to keeping prostitution "ineradicable," is the focus of this Article. Why should the sex business be invisible? What is it about the sex industry that makes most people want to look away, to pretend that it is not really as bad as we know it is? What motivates politicians to do what they can to hide it while at the same time ensuring that it runs smoothly? What is the connection between not seeing prostitution and keeping it in existence? There is an economic motive to hiding the violence in prostitution and trafficking. Although other types of gender-based violence such as incest, rape, and wife beating are similarly hidden and their prevalence denied, they are not sources of mass revenue. Prostitution is sexual violence that results in massive tMelissa Farley is a research and clinical psychologist at Prostitution Research & Education, a San Francisco non-profit organization, She is availabe at [email protected]. She edited Prostitution, Trafficking, and Traumatic Stress in 2003, which contains contributions from important voices in the field, and she has authored or contributed to twenty-five peer-reviewed articles.

  • The National and Transnational Dimensions of Afro-Brazilian
    BUILDING FROM AND MOVING BEYOND THE STATE BUILDING FROM AND MOVING BEYOND THE STATE: THE NATIONAL AND TRANSNATIONAL DIMENSIONS OF AFRO-BRAZILIAN WOMEN’S INTERSECTIONAL MOBILIZATION By JESSICA H. FRANKLIN, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctorate of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Jessica H. Franklin, August 2012 McMaster University DOCTORATE OF PHILOSOPHY (2012) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Building From and Moving Beyond the State: The National and Transnational Dimensions of Afro-Brazilian Women’s Intersectional Mobilization AUTHOR: Jessica H. Franklin, M.A. (The University of Western Ontario) SUPERVISOR: Professor Karen Bird NUMBER OF PAGES: vii, 233 ii ABSTRACT Race and gender categories have rarely operated in isolation in the lives of Afro-Brazilian women, intersecting to shape their historical and social positioning, everyday experiences, and collective activism. Despite opposition from the Brazilian state and some civil society groups, the Afro-Brazilian women’s movement has increased awareness of the specificity of black women’s identities and oppressions. They have become one of Brazil’s most organized proponents of anti-discrimination policy and legislation. In recent years their activism has moved beyond Brazil’s borders through participation in United Nations (UN) Conferences. Yet, the dynamism of Afro-Brazilian women’s intersectional identities and their strategic use to gain legitimacy in these arenas has remained noticeably understudied. This dissertation argues that since activist groups do not participate in transnational forums detached from their specific histories and localized experiences, their actions, and strategies must be historically grounded.
