Feminist critiques of anti-gender movements

Dienstag, 18.03.2025

A growing network of transnational Islamic women organizations contesting the international order has since the 1990s emerged in the Middle East. These networks are characterized by an anticolonial mode of discourse that specifically contests the UN and its conventions on women, family, and development, both through literary production and through the setting up of Islamic women NGOs seeking to impact UN policies from within the UN system and in their local communities. While there have been several studies on the emergence of Christian NGOs at the UN and their growing opposition to Sexual and Reproductive Human Rights (SRHR) and UN development policies since the 1990s, explorations of their Islamic counterparts have been surprisingly scarce. Centring the historical genealogy and the contemporary discourse and praxis of women activists and organizations that contest global gender norms and international development policies, this lecture will provide empirical and theoretical insights that help us to better understand critical Muslim encounters with international politics.
