Non-Governmental Organising for Gender Equality in China – Joining a Global Emancipatory Epistemic Community
Abstract
This paper uses domestic violence activism as a case study through which to examine how non-governmental feminist activists organising in China have generated new knowledge through their engagement with international gender equality activism and global human rights norms. We examine how an epistemic community focused on domestic violence has developed in China. This community subscribes to international definitions of violence against women as a human rights issue. We show how activists' adoption of human rights norms takes place in several stages and within situated learning processes. We argue that by engaging in such processes activists have joined a global emancipatory epistemic community – one which they are currently extending to Chinese society.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
