Indivisible Rights and Intersectional Identities or, "What Do Women's Rights Have to Do With the Race Convention?"

This article argues that the human rights of women of colour are neither adequately protected nor fully recognized under the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD), as ratified by the United States. This result is largely attributable to both the conceptualization of race in terms that assume maleness represents a point of gender neutrality and the centrality of principles of formal equality to anti-discrimination law.
