ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on gender justice forcibly demonstrates the connectedness of issues in global ethics and the similarities as well as the dissimilarities of the lives of real individuals. It considers how women suffer disproportionately from injustices. The chapter examines feminist criticisms of the current approach and suggestions for reforming current theoretical and rights approaches. It considers care ethics, which is sometimes regarded as an "alternative ethic" to rights-based and deontological approaches. Rights models have been particularly criticized by feminists as conflicting with feminist responses and with those who value relationships and caring for others. The usefulness of rights is recognized by many non-rights-based theories of ethics, such as the ethics of care, particularly in the political and policy arena. Finally, a feminist approach reminds that the issues of global ethics are not abstract problems that need theoretical solutions, but are about the experiences of suffering, hardship and injustice that real people suffer and see their families and communities suffer.
