Vulnerabilità, genere e diritti: quali politiche in Europa?
Abstract
This analysis focuses on four key questions about the link between vulnerability, gender, and rights. The first examines whether it's appropriate to define women as inherently vulnerable: data shows that women, globally, face poverty, exclusion, violence, but many feminist groups reject this framing. The second question delves into the very definition of vulnerability: drawing on Fineman's proposal, it considers the idea of a universal, inherent human vulnerability. Finally, the third explores the link between women's vulnerability and their rights, analyzing how the legal system has responded to the social challenges women face.
