Abstract

Women’s rights are currently mired in a complex dilemma of intersecting deprivations. Refugee women in conflict zones face systemic violence and disconnected health services. Strict abortion policies deprive victims of bodily autonomy, and criminalized laws and social discrimination foster economic oppression. However, as global policy shifts from gender inclusion to gender transformation, awareness is growing that women’s rights are not isolated issues but rather a core pillar of sustainable development and fair governance, leading to a growing academic focus on their protection. Against this backdrop, this study employed a quantitative research approach, using CiteSpace literature visualization software to visualize and analyze literature from the World Organisation for Social Science (WOS) from 2016 to 2025. The aim was to explore the evolution of topics and theoretical breakthroughs in women’s rights over the past decade, providing a knowledge map for targeted interventions to address intersecting dilemmas. The study concluded that: 1) Research exhibits diverse regional clustering, focusing on fundamental issues such as health equality and gender-based violence, while underemphasizing religious groups; 2) COVID-19 has significantly shifted research focus, shifting from macro-critical approaches to more pressing crises such as the erosion of health rights and the surge in violence.
