Abstract

This paper will map the developments that led to the integration of gender into the international human rights law discourse and examine how the language of ‘violence’ and ‘respectable victimhood’ (from Vienna 1993 to Beijing 1995) has been privileged leading to the dislocation of ‘discrimination’ as envisaged by CEDAW, as the primary index for measuring women’s human rights violations.
