Abstract

Abstract This special issue uses feminist perspectives to explore the field of business and human rights (BHR). Gendered inequalities, based on embodied, assigned or presumed gender identities and sexual orientations, have long been eclipsed from international law; the same has occurred in BHR. Rarely is gender addressed holistically to fully encompass the systemic discrimination and deep-seated patriarchal and neo-colonial structures that create and perpetuate inequalities. The contributions in this special issue challenge both the absence of attention to gender in BHR as well as conventional approaches used to address gendered inequalities within BHR discourses and frameworks. Three recurring themes characterize the special issue: (1) bodies and embodiment; (2) women’s positionality in the marketplace; and (3) borderlessness. Collectively, the contributions proffer feminist approaches to BHR that embed gender justice as foundational, rather than an afterthought.

从形式主义到女权主义：性别、商业与人权

摘要本期特刊以女性主义视角探讨商业与人权（BHR）领域。基于具体的、指定的或假定的性别认同和性取向的性别不平等，长期以来一直被国际法所掩盖；在BHR中也发生了同样的情况。很少对性别问题进行全面处理，以完全涵盖造成和延续不平等的系统性歧视以及根深蒂固的父权制和新殖民主义结构。本期特刊中的贡献挑战了BHR中对性别的关注不足，以及BHR话语和框架中用于解决性别不平等问题的传统方法。这期特刊有三个反复出现的主题：（1）身体和化身；（2）妇女在市场中的地位；以及（3）无边界。总的来说，这些贡献为BHR提供了女权主义方法，将性别公正作为基础，而不是事后考虑。

期刊介绍： The Business and Human Rights Journal (BHRJ) provides an authoritative platform for scholarly debate on all issues concerning the intersection of business and human rights in an open, critical and interdisciplinary manner. It seeks to advance the academic discussion on business and human rights as well as promote concern for human rights in business practice. BHRJ strives for the broadest possible scope, authorship and readership. Its scope encompasses interface of any type of business enterprise with human rights, environmental rights, labour rights and the collective rights of vulnerable groups. The Editors welcome theoretical, empirical and policy / reform-oriented perspectives and encourage submissions from academics and practitioners in all global regions and all relevant disciplines. A dialogue beyond academia is fostered as peer-reviewed articles are published alongside shorter ‘Developments in the Field’ items that include policy, legal and regulatory developments, as well as case studies and insight pieces.
