Content:
"This book explores the ambit of the notion of persecution in international law and its relevance in the current geopolitical context, more specifically for refugee women. The work analyses different models for interpreting the notion of persecution in international refugee law through a comparative lens. In particular, a feminist approach to refugee law is adopted to determine to what extent the notion of persecution can apply to gender related forms of violence and what are the challenges in doing so. It proposes an interpretive model that would encourage decision makers to interpret the notion of persecution in a manner that is sufficiently protective and relevant to the profiles of refugees in the 21st century."
Note:
Based on author's thesis (doctoral - King's College London, 2019) issued under title: The notion of persecution in the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its relevance for the protection needs of refugees in the 21st century.
