Abstract
This paper analyses the reformulations of citizenship, positive peace and democracy of both contemporary feminist theory and the feminist movement. In doing so, it will explain the interrelationship between the feminist movement as a democratic movement and its proposals for reformulating concepts and ideas that make up what we can call the “grammar of politics”. Following Seyla Benhabib, the “democratic iterations” that have been achieved in the framework of human rights will be presented, giving some examples at national and international levels. Finally, the changes and challenges in women’s demands for rights in current scenarios will be analysed.
