Shed Light

Chapter 4 explores the inter-network dynamics between the human rights and women’s rights communities in Russia, and how the uneasy relationship between these two sectors of civil society helps keep Russian women’s sex-based discrimination claims from percolating up to the ECtHR. We draw upon our interviews with feminist activists and human rights activists in Russia to shed light on the experiences of feminist activists within the human rights and international litigation communities in Russia. We find that the separation between women’s rights and traditional human rights networks in Russia has until recently excluded feminist lawyers from learning how to take cases successfully to the ECtHR through legal training. We compare the experiences of feminist activists and the reception of Russian human rights NGOs (nongovernmental organizations) to gender-based claims of human rights violations to the strikingly different experiences of LGBT rights activists who have found common cause with human rights organizations in Russia in trying to contest hate crimes and other rights violations in court.

The relevance of studying the question of women’s rights in Russia is determined by the persisting gender gap in the economic and career opportuni-ties of women, their education and health, political rights and opportunities. The question of women’s rights arose as an understanding of the women’s roles and their position in Russian society, identified the issues of social inequality associated with the subordination and discrimination of women. The author proposes approaches to solving the question of women’s rights in the pre-revolutionary, Soviet and post-Soviet periods. The main spheres of social life, the analysis of which requires an answer to the question of women’s rights are family, work, social and political activities of women. Currently, the question of women’s rights has transformed into a gender one, which in its content concerns the social status not only of women, but also of men, it be-comes important to smooth out inequality and bal-ance roles in the transformed social, political and economic reality.

Reinterpretation of Women’s Economic Rights in Islam. Islam prescribes equal rights for men and women, including economic rights. However, patriarchal interpretations of Alquran and Suna texts have contributed to a gender gap in which Muslimah women face difficulties in accessing their economic rights. Patriarchal structures that prescribe role divisions in society marginalise women from economic participation and property ownership. Contemporary Muslimah women also face similar problems of gender gap in economy. Therefore progressive Muslims offer reinterpretation of texts regarding women’s rights, including economic rights, using women’s perspectives. Such reinterpretation is also complemented with strategies of women’s economic empowerment to assist them to access their economic rights, particularly their rights of economic participation and access to paid employment.DOI: 10.15408/ajis.v14i1.1245

Women’S Rights

Freud's translation of J.S. Mill involved an encounter with the traditions of British empirical philosophy and associationist psychology, both of which go back to Locke and Hume. The translation of Mill's essay on Plato also brought Freud into contact with the philosophical controversy between the advocates of intuition and faith and the advocates of perception and reason. A comparison of source and translated texts demonstrates Freud's faithfulness to his author. A few significant deviations may be connected with Freud's ambiguous attitude to women's rights, as advocated in the essay The Enfranchisement of Women. Stylistically Freud had nothing to learn from Mill. His model in English was Macaulay, whom he was also reading at this period.
