In this thesis, I look for the possibilities to claim the right to conscientious objection on feminist grounds under international law to achieve gender equality.

At this point, it is also significant to emphasize that I do not exclude men from the category of subordinate identities since they also suffer from patriarchal system as it would be seen throughout this thesis.
