Reimagining European Court of Human Rights caselaw from an intersectional perspective
The European Court of Human Rights regularly receives complaints that reflect the complex experiences of people in Europe who are multiply marginalised. Yet the Court’s response to such complaints fails to recognise the complexity of compounded harm complainants have experienced as a result of multiple and mutually influencing vectors of oppression. Briefly put, the Court’s engagement with the concept of intersectionality has been lacking.
The book “Intersectional Rewrites: European Court of Human Rights Judgments Reimagined” explores a jurisprudence that responds to intersecting forms of oppression. It gathers 12 recent judgments from the Court, rewritten by activists, practitioners, and academics through the lens of intersectionality. The book contributes to a wider movement of critical rewrites, such as feminist and queer judgments projects, with an exclusive focus on the paradigm of intersectionality.
