摘要

今年的第一期《性别与发展》特刊探讨了女性人权维护者的重要主题,以及她们对保护和促进弱势群体的性别正义和人权的坚定承诺。WHRD继续工作,尽管他们的生命、生计以及身心健康受到严重威胁。随着本期杂志的出版,媒体头条和广播采访报道了肯尼亚LGBTQ活动家Edwin Chiloba被谋杀,他被窒息而死(《非洲新闻》与法新社2023),Gulnara Dzhurabayeva、Klara Sooronkulova、Rita Karasartova的审前拘留延长,和吉尔吉斯斯坦的Asya Saykbayeva,他们因和平抗议将Kempir Abad水源地的所有权从吉尔吉斯斯坦转移到乌兹别克斯坦而被捕(前线卫士2023),在过去几个月里有四名男子被绞死,其他几名人权维护者仍因抗议伊朗政府而面临被处决的风险(Fassihi和Engelbrecht 2023)。2021年,商业和人权资源中心记录了全球600多起针对人权维护者的袭击事件,引发了人们对有害商业行为的担忧,其中70%(十分之七)发生在气候、土地和环境权利维护者身上(商业和人权资源中心2022)。在这种背景下,侵犯人权的行为越来越多,政治威权主义抬头,极端分子和反动团体更加大胆,生态持续恶化,旷日持久的战争,对难民和移民的敌意,以及政府和国际社会在保护被剥夺者的权利方面的可悲失败,这个问题放大了妇女以及那些与妇女和弱势群体并肩作战的人的声音。这一期的文章通篇。一个是,政府,甚至是正式民主的政府,往往对人权持矛盾态度,尤其是对妇女为推动进步变革而采取的政治立场持矛盾态度。政府可能会选择驯服、非政治化或尽量减少WHRD的努力,无论是公开还是私下。其次,妇女往往是保护弱势群体、边缘化群体和系统性排斥群体的人,她们继续建立社会资本和机构,经常在冲突或军事化地区、工业开采地区以及对抗有影响力和强大的金融资本力量。第三,WHRD有一个共同的经历,那就是被无情地压制屈服,

Women human rights defenders
This year’s first special issue of Gender & Development addresses the critical theme of women human rights defenders (WHRDs) and their unwavering commitment towards the protection and advancement of gender justice and human rights of vulnerable groups. WHRDs continue their work despite serious threats to their lives, livelihoods, and physical and mental well-being. As this edition of the journal goes to print, media headlines and broadcast interviews report the murder of a Kenyan LGBTQ activist Edwin Chiloba, who was smothered to death (Rédaction Africanews with AFP 2023), the extension of pre-trial detention for Gulnara Dzhurabayeva, Klara Sooronkulova, Rita Karasartova, and Asya Sasykbayeva’s in Kyrgyzstan who were arrested for peacefully protesting against the transfer of ownership of the Kempir-Abad water reserve from Kyrgyzstan to Uzbekistan (Frontline Defenders 2023), and four men were hanged in the past few months, and several other human rights defenders remain at risk of execution for protesting against the Iranian government (Fassihi and Engelbrecht 2023). In 2021, the Business and Human Rights Resource Centre recorded more than 600 attacks worldwide against human rights defenders, raising concerns about harmful business practices – with 70 per cent (seven in ten) taking place against climate, land, and environmental rights defenders (Business and Human Rights Resource Centre 2022). Against this backdrop of increasing human rights violations, rising political authoritarianism, emboldening of extremists and reactionary groups, continuing ecological degradation, protracted wars, hostility towards refugees and migrants, and the abject failure of governments and the international community to protect the rights of the dispossessed, this issue amplifies the voices of women and those fighting alongside women and vulnerable groups. Common threads run through the articles and essays in this issue. One is that governments, even the formally democratic ones, tend to be ambivalent about human rights and especially about the political positions that women take to agitate towards progressive changes. Governments may opt to tame, depoliticise, or minimise the efforts of WHRDs, both overtly and covertly. Second, women are often the very ones to protect the vulnerable, the marginalised, and the systemically excluded, continuing to build social capital and agency, and often operating in conflict or militarised zones, in areas of industrial extraction, and against influential and powerful forces of finance capital. Third, WHRDs share a common experience – that of being relentlessly silenced into submission,

期刊介绍: Since 1993, Gender & Development has aimed to promote, inspire, and support development policy and practice, which furthers the goal of equality between women and men. This journal has a readership in over 90 countries and uses clear accessible language. Each issue of Gender & Development focuses on a topic of key interest to all involved in promoting gender equality through development. An up-to-the minute overview of the topic is followed by a range of articles from researchers, policy makers, and practitioners. Insights from development initiatives across the world are shared and analysed, and lessons identified. Innovative theoretical concepts are explored by key academic writers, and the uses of these concepts for policy and practice are explored.
