The traditional discourse on human rights has developed without considering its impact upon women.

Returning Women's Rights to Human Rights——Reflection of feminism in modern China

The women＇s liberation movement in China started after the first opium war and it took shape with the aim of protecting the race and salvaging the country. Doubtlessly, the emergence of modern feminism opened the precedent in the theory of women＇s liberation in China and exerted a profound and far-reaching influence on women＇s liberation afterwards. But we must face up to the fact that there was some traps or misunderstanding of modern feminism, which were unfavorable for realizing women＇s rights and such influence was long, so much so that till today we are still seeing its existence. It is, therefore, necessary to have a full reflection of modem feminism, unveil the original meaning of women＇s rights and make women＇s rights return to human rights in order to make the development of women＇s fights continue.

一种反人权的话语——试论汉语语境中的“强奸”

尽管长期以来,“强奸”一直是中国社会中的流行话语,但是,“强奸”的说法与当今的人权时代是格格不入的。在人权的视角下,汉语语境中的“强奸”首先属于一种有悖人权的“性的污名”,其重点在“奸”而不在“强”;其次,“强奸”也是将女性当作性客体的男权意识的反映,本质上与妇女人权是对立的;再次,逻辑上自相矛盾的“强奸”,严重地践踏了女性的人格尊严,给女性造成了极大的伤害。因此,应该废除“强奸”,代之以“性强暴”话语。

我国少数民族女性权利保障研究——以人权法平等原则为视角

由人权法中的平等原则视角出发,当前我国少数民族女性的政治、经济与社会等基本权利都得不到充分保障,其根源在于法律制度、政策上过于强调权利保障上的"形式平等"。因此,有必要通过实施优惠措施、均衡资源分配、构建法律政策性别平等评估机制来实现少数民族女性权利保障上的"实质平等"。

女性与西方绘画艺术

近年来,女性的地位不断提高,女性与艺术成为颇引人关注的话题。然而回顾人类的艺术长廊,女性在艺术领域远没有达到与男性平等的地位。从奴隶社会到文艺复兴时期,女性只作为被创作的符号应用在男性艺术家的创作中。至17世纪,女艺术家才在艺术史上争得了一席之地。随着女权运动的兴起,性别已不再成为决定作品是否伟大的理由,女性艺术家越来越多地涉足当代艺术主流并跻身于大师之列。
