Summary/Abstract: Although feminism brings together varied and often conflicting feminist ideas, the concept of feminist legal theory (feminist jurisprudence) is often defined unequivocally. A common foothold for many feminist theories can be found, directly or indirectly, in the concept of ethics of care. This paper focuses on the fundamental features of this concept relevant for further sociological and legal discussion of justice and fairness. Feminist debates, marked by a distinctive divergence of opinions in feminist theories (of rights and justice), are observed through the prism of critical reflections on the theoretical concept of ethics of care, without losing sight of the feminist experiences in the region. The ultimate intention of this discussion is to consider the potential for integration of ethics of care with the ethics of rights and justice through the gender mainstreaming strategy.
