  • Sociology of Women
CONT

Domaine(s)
  • Sociologie des femmes
CONT

On peut voir avec cet exemple que la codification de pratiques coloniales (au détriment de traditions indigènes qui servaient les intérêts des femmes) et le fait de présenter ces pratiques comme des traditions « authentiques » est une autre des tactiques employées par certains ténors du relativisme culturel pour éroder les droits des femmes.
