Sexual and gender-based violence against refugee women: a hidden aspect of the refugee "crisis"

J. Freedman. Sexual and gender-based violence against refugee women: a hidden aspect of the refugee "crisis". Reproductive Health Matters 2016;24:18–26

La « crise » actuelle des réfugiés en Europe a créé de multiples formes de vulnérabilité et d’insécurité pour les réfugiées, notamment plusieurs formes de violence sexuelle et sexiste. Les femmes, seules ou avec leur famille, sont de plus en plus nombreuses à tenter de parvenir en Europe pour y chercher protection, mais elles sont soumises à la violence pendant le voyage et/ou à l’arrivée dans un pays de destination. Le manque de logements adéquats ou d’installations d’accueil pour les réfugiés et les migrants en Europe, ainsi que la fermeture des frontières qui a augmenté la nécessité d’avoir recours à des passeurs pour atteindre l’Europe, exacerbent la violence et l’insécurité.

Freedman, J. Gendering the International Asylum and Refugee Debate. Palgrave Macmillan, 2015. ISBN 978-0-230-59254-4

This revised and updated 2nd edition of Freedman's hard-hitting study aims to remedy the current lack of gender-specific analyses of asylum and refugee issues. It provides a comprehensive account of the situation of women in global forced migration, and explains the ways in which women's experiences are shaped by gendered relations and structures.

The vulnerability approach: A way of bridging the equality–difference dilemma?

Bjørnholt, Margunn (2013). The vulnerability approach: A way of bridging the equality– difference dilemma? Retfærd: Nordic Journal of Law and Justice, Vol. 36, No. 3, pp. 25–44.

The Scandinavian welfare states are to a large extent responsive to their citizens’ vulnerabilities and needs, and with the ample support of working parents and their children, these states have to some extent neutralised the gendered effects of the public-private divide. Nevertheless, there has been a lack of responsiveness to the consequences of gendered life courses. Over the last decades there has been an increased emphasis on the idea of equality as sameness between men and women as the main aim and strategy, as well as a measure of gender equality. Arguments about difference have more or less disappeared from the discourses and policies of gender equality. This paper will apply the vulnerability approach to gender equality in the Norwegian context, and discuss whether this approach could be a way of reconceptualising gender equality in a way that acknowledges both difference and sameness.
