About

Transnational feminisms is a research field, theoretical framework, and methodological approach that examines gender, power, and inequality as shaped by interconnected global processes and local specificities across national borders. It critically analyzes the diverse experiences of women and gender non-conforming individuals within global systems, challenging Western-centric perspectives and emphasizing the intersectional nature of oppression. This concept investigates how global capitalism, colonialism, militarism, migration, and other transnational forces intersect with gender, and highlights diverse forms of feminist resistance and activism worldwide. Its significance lies in providing a more complex, inclusive, and globally informed framework for understanding and addressing gender injustice and fostering solidarity across geographical boundaries.
