Routledge - Gender and Refugee Status Socio-Legal Study

Explore the complex relationship between gender and refugee law in this groundbreaking socio-legal study from Routledge. As gender issues gain momentum in academic research, media coverage, and courtrooms, this book provides a necessary and deep analysis of how these two fields connect. This work stands out by offering an interdisciplinary approach to understanding asylum practices. It features unique empirical data collected specifically for this study, focusing on the Dutch asylum system. While the Netherlands is a major refugee-receiving nation in Europe, English-language resources on its specific refugee laws are rare. This book fills that gap by providing insights into Dutch practice alongside an examination of foreign case law and academic literature. Whether you are a student, researcher, or legal professional, this text offers a comprehensive look at how gender influences legal status. It serves as a vital resource for anyone studying anthropology, sociology, or international law in the context of modern migration.
