Annotation:
The author contends that intersectionality has recently been recognized in international fora, but that there is still a lack of an intersectional approach to eliminating discrimination at a national level. The author focuses on women's experiences of domestic violence, immigration laws, the criminal justice system and the multicultural approach to "show how these sites of intersectional discrimination create and perpetuate the multiple disadvantages women face." The author provides a brief background to intersectional discrimination before providing concrete examples from the United Kingdom. The author concludes with recommendations to the United Nations system and national governments to identify and address the multiple effects of discrimination on marginalized women.
