Feminist scholars, however, argue that dominant security-based approaches to sex trafficking…
युद्ध और शांति आंदोलनों में महिलाएँ (Women in War and Peace Movements) युद्ध और शांति आंदोलनों में महिलाओं की भागीदारी इस धारणा को चुनौती देती है कि युद्ध करना और शांति स्थापित करना केवल पुरुषों का क्षेत्र है। नारीवादी विद्वानों का तर्क है कि महिलाएँ केवल संघर्ष की निष्क्रिय पीड़ित नहीं होतीं, बल्कि सक्रिय राजनीतिक…
