Mothers of the Disappeared in tne Diaspora: Globalisation and Human Rights Beryl Langer Nielsen Book Data Publisher's Summary In recent years, the slogan "women's rights are human rights" has become a central claim of the global women's movement.

Human Rights and Gender Politics in the Asia-Pacific examines the critical issues raised by this embracing and expansion of the human rights discourse by feminists world-wide. Through detailed case studies drawn from the Asia-Pacific region, this book explores the tensions between an apparently universalising discourse of human rights and increasing awareness of the complexities of women's politics of difference. It questions how feminists negotiate controversial issues such as "rights" and "cultural relativism", and argues for an increased focus on the ways in which human rights claims are embedded in highly specific local contexts, histories and struggles.
