The right to sex: feminism in the twenty-first century

Abstract

compliance is only a small part of the conversation. The language of IHRL and its legal tools can indeed be, and are meant to be, transformative far beyond any specific case. To be sure, the technique of the specific case is what often leverages the broader impact, but the editors allow us to keep our eyes on the larger goal, and not to mistake, as David Kennedy famously put it, work on the field for work on the problem. To human rights advocates and scholars, this volume can be a tremendous help in articulating tactics and strategies through which human rights can live up to its emancipatory potential.
