Abstract

The concepts of gender, culture and human rights in Sally Merry's book on the evolution of the international movement of violence against women will be approached. Merry's work will then constructively be contrasted and compared with Hanna Rosin's idea involving the end of men and the rise of women. The ideas on the global North and the global South of both authors will be analysed, namely, through how gender is defined, both for women and for men, not only on a local but also on a global scale.
