Black Feminists in the Third Sector: Here Is Why We Choose to use the term Solidarity Economy
Many countries in the Global North use the term “social economy”—also known as the third sector—to describe economies run by citizens rather than by state or business actors. Over the years, many Black feminist scholars that we have worked with also share the view that the concept of the “social economy” is limited to a European understanding. It fails to acknowledge those actors in the third sector who are excluded from interacting with the gove…
What Happened to ‘Vivre Ensemble?’: Developments after SAS v France
In 2014, the European Court of Human Rights found that France’s prohibition on women wearing the full face veil did not violate Article 9. In doing so, it accepted that the ban was necessary in order to achieve ‘vivre ensemble’ or ‘living together’. The use of the concept was controversial and the response at the time was mostly critical. This article examines when and in what ways the Court has used vivre ensemble since that decision. It conside…
What constitutes a compassionate response? The important role of culture
American compassionate responses (i.e., sending sympathy cards) focus more on the positive (e.g., comforting memories) and less on the negative (e.g., the pain of someone's death) than German compassionate responses, partly because of cultural differences in how much people want to avoid feeling negative (i.e., avoided negative affect [ANA]). However, are these culture-specific compassionate responses considered more comforting and compassionate …
Empathy and Procedural Justice in Clash of Rights Cases
How should judges and the courts deal with litigation where there is plausible argument that each side's rights have or would be violated and where at the heart of the dispute lies moral and cultural disagreement about ideas of equality, free speech and the relevance of religion in professional and public life? These were the issues that arose in two well known cases decided by two Supreme Courts on either side of the Atlantic. In Masterpiece Cak…
Religious discrimination and the ‘hierarchy of rights’: Non-existent, appropriate or problematic
In theory, there is no hierarchy of rights in the Equality Act 2010: equal weight is given to each protected characteristic. At least two, very different, critiques though have been made of this argument as it relates to religion or belief. One argument is that religious discrimination has unfairly been given a lower priority than other characteristics, particularly sexual orientation. The second is that religion is inherently different, partly b…
