Reproductive rights & the political goal of self-determination derive from the human rights of self-determination of women over their bodies & the integrity of their bodies, both of which are included in the catalogue of human rights. The action program resulting from the Third UN Conference on Population & Development in Cairo in 1994 for the first time included feminist perspectives by demanding reproductive rights & health, access to education for women, gender equality, & empowerment for women. In the course of preparing the conference &, then, reconsidering its results, a discussion emerged within feminism as to whether population politics are compatible with feminist perspectives at all, & to what extent population politics are fundamentally incompatible with women's interests & self-determination. Reproductive rights are closely linked to labor rights for women. The "clean clothes campaign," as an international campaign for fair labor conditions, fights for the recognition of this issue as a global political theme. This example shows that functioning networks of women & feminist activists are necessary to draw attention to the rising social & economic problems related to globalization. Hence the "clean clothes campaign" tries to broaden the political discussion by adding a global perspective to national & regional politics by way of their participation in international debates. 18 References.
