Women'S Rights' Protection: Globalization Or Localization?
Keywords:
Globalization, Localization, Women’s Right Protection, CitizenshipAbstract
Contextually, the issue of globalization is a socio-political phenomenon. The issue of women's rights is also a socio-political issue. Howbeit, legal implications predicated on them remove them from mere social concerns to the issues of law. Law has its root in culture. This work advocated therefore, caution in the application of globalization euphoria to the issue of women's rights, as their protection is far beyond legal and globalization cosmetics, but entrenched in the application of a more holistic approach. It encouraged an enhancement of women's civil, political and social rights of citizenship, and engagement in transnational solidarity to promote women's human rights across the globe.
