Intersectionality in the Sexual Assault of Irregular Migrant Women Entering the EU

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book looks into the sexual assault of irregular/illegal immigrant women and girls throughout their arrival to the European Union borders and borderlands between the period of 2011 and 2018, through an Intersectional lens. It intends to analyze this sensitive human rights issue through grasping the cultural obstacles and procedures at European borders which have fueled the violation of this fragile migrant group's human rights, while also supporting this argument with academic research, statistical data and reports on irregular migration from international and regional organizations, security mechanisms at borders, and statistics on sexual abuse and exploitation during the aforementioned period.
It intends to explore the manner in which several factors and developments at European borders and in the borderlands have resulted in a more dangerous migration journey for these women and girls, as well as the likelihood of sexual violence of migrants, and female migrants in particular.
This book aims to comprehend the linkages between academic research and the supporting statistical information through the lens of Intersectionality Theory.
Through this lens, this process is examined across: power dynamics, security, legal status, and gender. Thus, it becomes evident that this particularly vulnerable group of women and girls from developing countries escaping war, economic burdens and conflict, are ostracized and subordinated in a number of interconnected patterns. This book highlights a need for more gender-sensitive policies because the group of women in question has close to no viable resource for justice within a system that currently acts against them and views them as criminal or "illegal".
