Decisões Judiciais na Suprema Corte do Reino Unido
Motivado por duas das premissas dos projetos de reescrita de decisões judiciais em perspectivas feministas (a de que essas decisões são relativamente raras no "mundo real" e a de que elas constituem valiosa contribuição à ciência do direito e à qualidade da justiça), este artigo aborda a produção de decisões feministas por ministros e ministras da Suprema Corte do Reino Unido. Com base em informações extraídas de um banco de dados com mais de 570…
Devastating, like it broke me’
The non-consensual taking or sharing of intimate images, also known as ‘image-based sexual abuse’, has become a widespread problem. While there has been growing attention to this phenomenon, little empirical research has investigated victim-survivor experiences. Drawing on interviews with 25 victim-survivors, this article focusses on the different responses to image-based sexual abuse in Aotearoa New Zealand. We found that victim-survivors had di…
Seeking Justice and Redress for Victim-Survivors of Image-Based Sexual Abuse
Despite apparent political concern and action—often fuelled by high-profile cases and campaigns—legislative and institutional responses to image-based sexual abuse in the UK have been ad hoc, piecemeal and inconsistent. In practice, victim-survivors are being consistently failed: by the law, by the police and criminal justice system, by traditional and social media, website operators, and by their employers, universities and schools. Drawing on d…
It’s Torture for the Soul’
Beyond ‘scandals’ and the public testimonies of victim-survivors, surprisingly little is known about the nature and extent of the harms of ‘image-based sexual abuse’, a term that includes all non-consensual taking and/or sharing of nude or sexual images. Accordingly, this article examines the findings from the first cross-national qualitative study on this issue, drawing on interviews with 75 victim-survivors of image-based sexual abuse in the UK…
Feminist Judgments on the UK Supreme Court
Partant de deux des postulats de projets de rédaction de jugements féministes — à savoir que les jugements féministes sont relativement rares dans le « monde réel » et qu’ils offrent une contribution précieuse à la jurisprudence et à la qualité de la justice — les auteures analysent la rédaction de jugements féministes à la Cour suprême du Royaume-Uni. Se fondant sur une base de données de plus de 570 décisions, elles se demandent qui rédige les …
Feminist Legal Biography
Legal biography remains, with some exceptions, strongly influenced by Victorian biographical models, with a focus on ‘great’ men (since women could not become lawyers before 1920, and there have been few ‘great’ women lawyers) and their public achievements and contributions to law, and with little attention given to their private lives or their attitudes to women’s subordination in law. Feminist legal historians have widened the net to include wo…
Women’s Legal Landmarks
Women’s Legal Landmarks commemorates the centenary of women’s admission in 1919 to the legal profession in the UK and Ireland by identifying key legal landmarks in women’s legal history. Over 80 authors write about landmarks that represent a significant achievement or turning point in women’s engagement with law and law reform. The landmarks cover a wide range of topics, including matrimonial property, the right to vote, prostitution, surrogacy a…
Image-Based Sexual Abuse
Advances in technology have transformed and expanded the ways in which sexual violence can be perpetrated. One new manifestation of such violence is the non-consensual creation and/or distribution of private sexual images: what we conceptualise as ‘image-based sexual abuse’. This article delineates the scope of this new concept and identifies the individual and collective harms it engenders. We argue that the individual harms of physical and ment…
Beyond ‘Revenge Porn’
In the last few years, many countries have introduced laws combating the phenomenon colloquially known as ‘revenge porn’. While new laws criminalising this practice represent a positive step forwards, the legislative response has been piecemeal and typically focuses only on the practices of vengeful ex-partners. Drawing on Liz Kelly’s (Surviving sexual violence. Polity Press, Cambridge, 1988) pioneering work, we suggest that ‘revenge porn’ should…
Why Feminist Legal Scholars Should Write Judgments
Le Projet de jugements féministes a permis à des chercheuses en droit féministes de rédiger en groupe des jugements féministes alternatifs pour des causes majeures en Angleterre et au Pays de Galles. Plutôt que de se limiter à des critiques théoriques de décisions existantes, les participantes se sont inscrites dans la tradition du Tribunal des femmes du Canada pour se lancer dans un exercice pratique et « réaliste » de rédaction de jugements. En…
Detailing Judicial Difference
Difference in the House of Lords
Taking the media reaction to Brenda Hale’s appointment to the appellate committee of the House of Lords in January 2004 as its starting point, this article considers the impact difference might have on understandings of both the judge and judging. It argues that beneath the surface of the somewhat simplistic personality-based alternatives posited in the British press lies a more organic response to the woman judge generally and her perceived diff…
