While many obstacles remain, and many women continue to suffer from the paradox of Multicultural vulnerability, these innovations in theory and practice offer new prospects for reconciling Gender equality and pluralism.
The authors explore a range of cases from Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa, in relation to state law, customary law, religious law, and indigenous law.
This volume explores the connection between Gender Parity and Multicultural feminism, both at the level of theory and in practice.
In response, Multicultural feminists have proposed institutional innovations to strengthen the voice of minority women, both at the state level and in decisions about the interpretation and evolution of cultural and religious practices.
Neither has effectively ensured the participation of minority women.
To date, the former trend has primarily benefitted majority women, and the latter has primarily benefitted minority men.
We also see a \'pluralism turn\', with increasing legal recognition given to the customary law or religious law of minority groups and indigenous peoples.
