Abstract
This essay explores the emerging of a gender sensitive comparative constitutional scholarship and its development in the past decades. It highlights how this scholarship has indicated the importance of social movements in the migration of constitutional ideas. The essay, moreover, points to the challenges posed by ultra conservative transnational actors which mobilize against sexual and reproductive rights, and to the role of a gender sensitive scholarship in countering such attacks.
