As Relações Internacionais e a importância das teorias feministas para os direitos humanos das mulheres

Abstract

The present work aims to address, in a first moment, the main theories of International Relations, as well as the context of its emergence as an area of scientific knowledge, in order to analyze its theoretical unfolding from the social events in which they began. However, we will try to correlate their first biases of theoretical constructions (realism / liberalism) to locate the links and / or absences regarding the gender discussions within their agendas. Therefore, by drawing a parallel with feminist theories and studies on gender within the area of study of International Relations we will make a contextual cut of the main conventions on human rights, including in our analysis the theme of Women's Human Rights and how, despite its advances, this theme can reproduce misogynistic discourses. The aim of this paper is to outline some of the contribution of feminism over the years to understanding gender issues as a driver of the most varied initiatives against discrimination and violence suffered by this group and other political minorities (and, therefore, sexual minorities). Such explanations - have as background the relations that touch in(directly) the discussions between Women's Human Rights in International Relations and of how the predominant theories can, to a certain extent, naturalize plasters that hinder - but does not make it impossible- a recognition of the Women in a broader sense.
