Intersectionality and Human Rights Law
Hart Publishing (Verlag)
978-1-5099-3529-1 (ISBN)
The question arises from the realisation that people, who are severally and severely disadvantaged because of their race, religion, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, class etc, often find themselves at the margins of human rights; their condition seldom improved and sometimes even worsened by the rights discourse. How does one make sense of this relationship between the complexity of people’s disadvantage and violation of their human rights? Does the human rights discourse, based on its universal and common values, have tools, methods or theories to capture and respond to the difference in people’s lived experience of rights? Can intersectionality help in that quest? This book seeks to inaugurate this line of inquiry.
Shreya Atrey is an Associate Professor in International Human Rights Law at the University of Oxford. Peter Dunne is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Bristol.
