Abstract

They do not make headlines, but the debate on the German immigration law has again—for a short time?—brought it forth to public consciousness: specific reasons for women to seek refuge. Women often flee for other motivations as men—because of sex-based discrimination or fear of genital mutilation. Furthermore, when women are politically persecuted, sexual violence is often used. Does international law and individual state asylum and refugee law adequately consider these specific elements? Inke Jensen pursues this question in her dissertation.
