Gender and reproductive rights : Synergies and contradictions in China’s national and global development agendas

Eklund, Lisa LU (2025) 8. p.207-235
Abstract
This chapter draws on recent literature to outline the trajectory of China’s national development in the fields of gender equality and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), as well as its global engagement in these fields. By highlighting how Chinese national and global development agendas speak to and depart from each other, it attempts to identify potential synergies and contradictions that are important to understand when Sweden and other like-minded actors engage with China as an international development cooperation partner in the fields of gender equality and SRHR.
