PHILOSOPHICAL TOPICS VOL. 35, NOS. 1 & 2, SPRING/FALL 2007 Transnational Rights and Wrongs: Moral Geographies of Gender and Migration Rachel Silvey University of Toronto ABSTRACT This article examines the challenges that transnational women’s migration poses to state-centered conceptions of rights. It reviews global perspectives on gender jus- tice that are being developed by Western feminist philosophers and transnational migrant rights activists, and argues that these frameworks are contributing to imag- ining the moral geographies necessary for the protection of women migrants’ human rights and welfare. Specifically, based on discussion of the issues and strate- gies that Indonesian migrant workers’ organizations employ in relation to interna- tional human rights discourse, the article argues that adequate conceptualizations of justice must focus on the ways in which transnational gendered inequalities are produced—and indeed must be addressed—across “local,” “national,” and “global” spaces and scales. These arguments, now commonplace in the discipline of geogra- phy, are offered as an elaboration of the spatial elements of feminist philosophical conceptions of global justice. 75 Topics 37.1 first pages:Layout 1 9/17/09 11:18 AM Page 75
