Femicide and intersectionality

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter will first explore the theoretical commonalities and points of departure between the concept of femicide and intersectionality, followed by an overview of how femicide has been adopted in law, case law, and policies at the international, inter-American, and European levels. Finally, the chapter concludes with a brief reflection on the shortcomings and limitations that emerged from the analysis and possible strategies to incorporate an intersectional perspective in the analysis, criminali- sation, and prevention of femicide.
