This fresh understanding of global law and contemporary gender relations asks 'whom do we care about?' not 'what rights do women have?'. Case studies feature African women producing fruit and flowers for UK export; Polish, Filipino and Moldovan migrant body workers providing care and sex; and British-Asian transnational marriages.
Theories of gender justice in the twenty-first century must engage with global economic and social processes. Using concepts from economic analysis associated with global commodity chains and feminist ethics of care, Ann Stewart considers the way in which ''gender contracts'' relating to work and care contribute to gender inequalities worldwide. She explores how economies in the global north stimulate desires and create deficits in care and belonging which are met through transnational movements and traces the way in which transnational economic processes, discourses of rights and care create relationships between global south and north. African women produce fruit and flowers for European consumption; body workers migrate to meet deficits in ''affect'' through provision of care and sex; British-Asian families seek belonging through transnational marriages.
