Introduction to the Special Issue: Transnational Feminism-Contexts, Collaborations, Contestations: Toward A Liveable Planet: Select Papers from the 7th World Conference on Women's Studies

ABSTRACT

According to Margaret A. McLaren (2017), transnational feminism results in 'decolonizing feminism' and Sylvanna M. Falcón (2016) calls it a 'Paradigm for Decolonizing the Practice of Research.' Two research questions are discussed in the paper "What motivated the teachers in the cases to teach digital literacy?" And "What made teachers in the cases think the digital skills gender divide exists?" "The Sexual Politics of Manusmriti A Critical Analysis with Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights Perspective," a research article by N.M Naseera and Dr. Moly Kuruvilla discusses the law codes of the ancient legal text Manusmriti, that have a significant role in creating the Brahmanic patriarchy and the heteronormative structures in Ancient India. The contributions to this JIWS Special Issue witness and underline practices of women's voices/movements around the world and gender justice across national boundaries, which in turn contribute to the transnational social change processes. 3 Tamanna Arora holds Double Post Grad Degrees in Law (LL.M) with one specialization being in International Human Rights Laws from the City, University of London, United Kingdom, and the other one being in Corporate, Banking, and Insurance Laws from Amity University, Noida (India).
