Streit - feminist legal magazine ( spelling STREIT ) is a magazine that has been published in Frankfurt am Main since 1983 and specializes in women's rights and women- related justice . Since it was founded, it has been organized as an autonomous feminist project, whose publisher is solely responsible for the distribution of the magazine.
profile
The magazine sees itself as a feminist specialist magazine for all those who fight against social discrimination against women and want to help women to gain their rights, and is therefore not aimed exclusively at lawyers . In addition, it sees itself as a platform for the further development of feminist legal theory and, with more fundamental considerations on overcoming patriarchal and heteronormative structures in law, also takes a global perspective.
Topics include the protection of women from violence , their equality in working life and in the family , the autonomous design of private life plans, abortion , reproductive technologies and self-determined sexuality , motherhood and the legal status of women in other parts of the world.
In 2008, the magazine Kritische Justiz assigned Streit to the most important legal criticism magazines in German-speaking countries.
History of origin
In 1978, ten years after the start of the second wave of the German women's movement , the first feminist lawyers' offices were opened in West Germany . The women involved wanted to network better in order to exchange views on legal issues that were neither dealt with in university studies nor in the specialist literature of the time. There was also a desire to jointly develop new argumentation strategies and legal-political demands. Since 1985, the “Jurafrauentreffen”, which takes place as the annual feminist day of women jurists , has served as a forum for exchange . The idea of founding a feminist trade journal came up in this environment, but earlier: The first issue of Streit came out in 1983 . One of the founders was the lawyer and legal theorist Sibylla Flügge .
