“…Other studies join HHRR with migration (Blake and Husain, 2003;Dembour and Kelly, 2011;Estévez, 2012;Rubio-Marín, 2014). There are also publications linking human rights to education, which is an area of special interest for this paper (Bajaj, 2003(Bajaj, , 2011Caicedo, 2014;Covell, 2013;Osler and Starkey, 2010;Pani et al, 2005;Simon and Pleschová, 2013;Tomasevski, 2006).…”

Despite the progress that has been carried out in different areas of society in recent years, human rights are still violated in various ways in different parts of the world. This article chooses an educational proposal based on human rights in order to assert their importance through various practical activities carried out in higher education, particularly in a compulsory subject of the degree in English Studies in a Spanish University. The purpose of the chosen activities is that students reflect on human rights so that they can improve their critical awareness and their commitment in defending them. This educational proposal combines the development of the different skills requested in a language subject (listening, speaking, reading, writing and interaction), the acquisition of values and the importance of human rights. The proposed activities contribute to students' progress as active, critical, ethical and committed citizens, who are able to become aware of the different ways in which human rights are violated. Moreover, they are able to provide coherent responses based on the approach that has been followed in the teaching-learning process. Therefore, it is concluded that the educational approach presented in this article is suitable for students to be sensitized, to develop social awareness, and to acquire different skills.

“…63 Clearly, the language of rights was a winning strategy, a "structural resource" that advocates could use to press their cause. 64 As far as they were concerned, substituting the concept of reproductive justice for reproductive rights would be a step backward.…”

Reproductive Rights or Reproductive Justice? Lessons from Argentina

Argentine sexual and reproductive rights activists insist on using the language and framework of "human rights, " even when many reproductive rights activists in the US and elsewhere now prefer the framework of "reproductive justice. " Reflecting on conversations with Argentine feminist anthropologists, social scientists, and reproductive rights activists, this paper analyzes why the Argentine movement to legalize abortion relies on the contested concept of human rights. Its conclusion that "women's rights are human rights" is a powerful claim in post-dictatorship politics where abortion is not yet legal and the full scope of women's rights has yet to be included in the government's human rights agenda. Argentine feminist human rights activists have long been attentive to the ways that social class, gender, migration, and racism intersect with reproduction. Because their government respects and responds to a human rights framework, however, they have not felt it necessary-as US feminists have-to invent a new notion of reproductive justice in order to be heard. Given the increasing popularity of reproductive justice in health and human rights, the Argentine case shows that rights-based claims can still be politically useful when a State values the concept of human rights.

“…En contraste con dichos recuentos, algunos estudiosos y estudiosas latinoamericanos argumentan que los derechos humanos derivan no de las tradiciones jurídi-cas liberales ni de estándares morales abstractos, sino más bien de la tensión entre los regímenes represivos y los movimientos de justicia social (Estévez, 2012). En ese contexto, los argumentos de Carozza y Glendon parecen ser ahistóricos, incluso cuando se expresan mediante ejemplos históricos.…”

¿Honrar a Rosa Parks? Intentos de los sectores católicos conservadores a favor de los "derechos" en la América Latina contemporánea

Cuando en el año 2009 se otorgó en Argentina el Premio Rosa Parks a una senadora conservadora por su oposición abierta al uso de anticonceptivos, a la esterilización y al aborto, era evidente que algo extraño ocurría. En este artículo se documenta la apropiación de los discursos de "derechos humanos" por parte de los sectores católicos conservadores en América Latina, donde el éxito reciente de los movimientos sociales a favor de los derechos sexuales y reproductivos ha generado una reacción significativa. En particular, se indagan los esfuerzos por parte de académicos católicos especialistas en leyes para justificar lo que denominan "un enfoque distintivamente latinoamericano hacia los derechos humanos", dejando de lado décadas de activismo por los derechos humanos emprendido por otros sectores. Quienes se oponen a los derechos reproductivos y sexuales despliegan un discurso de derechos de forma selectiva y estratégica, utilizándolo como una cubierta secular para promover políticas pro-vida y pro-familia.
