ABSTRACT:
8 pages in length. The struggle to impose universal human rights through international legal institutions continues to be a difficult objective to obtain. While much of the global community extends the aspect of rights to incorporate all class, race and gender, others are not as socially or culturally evolved even now in the twenty-first century to have reached the point where everyone is afforded the same level of civil liberties that are inherent to no other prerequisite than simply being born. Islam is an example of how traditional cultural/religious beliefs have failed to progress with the growing understanding of - and subsequent change toward - a more equitable distribution of rights. Power and coercion are two very powerful elements within the subtext of gender inequality. Based upon a foundation of social subordination and social order, gender division has long been - and continues to be - a result of strategic construct that flies in the face of any attempts by international legal institutions to universalize human rights. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
