The Gendering of Human Rights
Chapter Goals
To understand the heroic actions of women in Latin America fighting for human rights in a period of time (1960-1980) when men and women were kidnapped, murdered, tortured, and disappeared in the hands of death squads and military dictatorships.
To contextualize Latin American women’s actions within the Cold War and the United States policy to stop the spread of communism in Latin America after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution.
To analyze how women’s action impacted Latin America democratization
To see how women’s actions impacted women’s lives and expanded the notion of feminism
To understand why more women than men joined the struggle in what is called “The Gendering of Human Rights.”
Introduction
See a picture of an indigenous woman from Andean Peru, holding a tiny photograph of a man in her hands, then she talks in Qechua with tears in her eyes but with a firm voice. She is a symbol for the tragedy of the “desaparecidos” (disappeared) in Latin America and the monumental women’s human rights movement confronting dictatorships and the danger of civil wars during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.

Definition of “Desaparecidos”
What is a “Desaparecido”
“Desaparecido” (disappeared) is an euphemism for death and implies the forced disappearance of an individual on ideological grounds by a government, military, or/and paramilitar forces. But it is also a heartbreaking uncertainty about the whereabouts of a loved one. Entire communities in Latin America lived that uncertainty and were never allowed to find closure. Ruben Blades, a Panamanian singer and songwriter popularized his song “Los Desaparecidos” as a homage to the hundred of thousands disappeared in Latin America. He says: “where does the disappeared go? Search in the waters and the wilderness. When does the disappeared come back? Every time the memory brings him/her back. And how does one talk to the disappeared? With emotions killing you inside.” (My translation from Spanish).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These were years of terror during which thousands of women and men were assassinated and thrown into mass graves, rivers, and oceans thus disappearing without trace. Dictators were strong, repressive, and immoral regimes supported by the United States in the context of the Cold War and aimed at crushing the political effervescent around the world and particularly in Latin America after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution.

The black power movement
The document discusses the origins and key figures of the Black Power movement in the 1960s, including Malcolm X, Stokely Carmichael, and the Black Panther Party, as well as the rise of black activism on college campuses, black artistic expression through literature and music, and the development of black feminism in response to criticisms of the black family structure. As the movement grew, it led to increasing riots and civil unrest across major U.S. cities as African Americans fought for their voices to be heard on social and political issues.

McDuffie-Sojourners Article, RHR, Spring 2008
1) In 1951, the Sojourners for Truth and Justice, a newly formed organization of African American women, protested at the Department of Justice in Washington D.C. to demand an end to racial injustice and lynching of black men.
2) The Sojourners advocated for civil rights and civil liberties. They supported people persecuted for their left-wing affiliations and those who spoke out against racism, colonialism, and the Cold War.
3) The Sojourners promoted a "black left feminism" that centered the experiences of working-class black women and addressed the intersectional oppression they faced through a combination of Communism, black nationalism, and radical feminism.
2.16.23 The March on Washington.pptx
The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom took place on August 28, 1963. It was conceived by A. Philip Randolph and organized by Bayard Rustin to demand equal rights and an end to racial discrimination. Over 250,000 people gathered in Washington D.C. to hear speeches by civil rights leaders including John Lewis and Martin Luther King Jr., who delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech. However, the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham just weeks later, which killed four young black girls, was a tragic reminder that racial equality was still far from being achieved.
Queen Mother Audley E. Moore, In Honor of a Warrior Woman
Queen Mother Audley E. Moore was honored for devoting her life to the struggle for human and civil rights for all people of African descent. She organized for rights from 1918 to the United Nations in the 1950s. She founded numerous organizations fighting for self-determination, land rights, and reparations for descendants of slaves. Moore organized protests, unions, and presented petitions to the UN until her death in 1997 at age 99, dedicating over 77 years to activism.

McDuffie-QMM article, African and Black Diaspora, July 2010
This article examines the life and legacy of Queen Mother Audley Moore, a prominent 20th century black radical activist. She was a lifelong supporter of Marcus Garvey's black nationalism movement and was also a leading figure in the Communist Party in the 1930s-1940s. Though she broke from the Communist Party in 1950, reinventing herself as a black nationalist, her experiences in the Communist left influenced her anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist politics and emphasis on organizing black communities. She played a key role in mentoring younger black radicals and was influential in the development of the 1960s Black Power movement, helping to forge a connection between early 20th century black radicalism and the new era of black activism. Her
NEGROES WITH GUNS
Robert Franklin Williams wrote "Negroes With Guns" while living in exile in Cuba after being forced to flee the United States due to his activism for African American civil rights and self-defense against racist violence. As a child, Williams witnessed a brutal beating of a Black woman by a white police officer that left a lasting trauma. After serving in World War 2, Williams returned home to North Carolina and organized armed resistance against the Ku Klux Klan to prevent further racist violence and lynchings. This led to threats and false charges against Williams, forcing him and his family to flee the country in 1961.
Political issues in the '60s
The 1960s saw major social and political upheaval related to civil rights and racial equality. The Civil Rights Movement led by Martin Luther King Jr. and others fought to end segregation through numerous protests and demonstrations, including King's iconic "I Have a Dream" speech. Meanwhile, Nelson Mandela emerged as a leader against apartheid in South Africa, though he was imprisoned for much of the 1960s. The decade also saw the rise of feminism and the women's liberation movement seeking greater equality and freedom for women.
Top 10 civil rights event
The document lists 10 pivotal civil rights events: Brown v. Board of Education ended school segregation; the murder of Emmett Till motivated the civil rights movement; the Montgomery Bus Boycott protested segregated buses and elevated Martin Luther King Jr; the Little Rock Nine desegregated a high school; the Albany Movement protested segregation but failed its goals; the March on Washington featured Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have a Dream" speech; the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing increased support for civil rights; the Selma March protested voting rights restrictions; the Civil Rights Act of 1964 legally ended public discrimination; and Freedom Riders tested desegregation of interstate buses.
Lynching in America
Lynching was a horrific practice in America that involved torturing and killing African Americans in public spectacles watched by thousands of white people. Victims were burned alive, mutilated, and had their bodies displayed or made into souvenirs. Lynchings often involved accusing African Americans of minor offenses or none at all. One document details specific lynchings that occurred across various American cities and states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A survivor of lynching went on to found a museum documenting the injustices and racial violence against African Americans.
The universal declaration of human rights
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was passed by the UN General Assembly in 1948 in the aftermath of WWII and the Holocaust. Eleanor Roosevelt played an important role in drafting the document, which aimed to establish international standards to protect basic human rights and dignity. In the 1950s and 1960s, the Civil Rights Movement in the US fought against racial segregation and discrimination through nonviolent protests like the Montgomery Bus Boycott and sit-ins. Major events and figures included the murder of Emmett Till, Rosa Parks' arrest, the integration of Little Rock Central High School, Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech and "Letter from Birmingham Jail", and the assassinations of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King
