FERRER ARAUJO, Nina. Exercise of Women's Global Citizenship before International Courts: Impact of Citizen Activism on the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. Opin. jurid. [online]. 2016, vol.15, n.29, pp.43-63. ISSN 1692-2530.

This document assumes that the exercise of full citizenship, within a global context, should be based on political, cultural, and economic considerations rather than on a legal recognition. It is understood that global citizenship, as a world vehicle, can be exercised by individuals and identity groups such as women, in such a way that women's social movement can be seen as Castells' network society. It can be seen, however, that this exercise cannot be exercised in full without the existence of international justice courts that can assure rights implied in the concept of citizenship that, in the case of the Inter-American Court, has been setting the exercise of global citizenship from some jurisprudential standards on women's human rights, applicable to each State that has accepted the competence of the Regional Court.

Keywords : Women's citizenship; global citizenship; women's human rights; women's rights in the Inter-American System.
