Article 23: Equality between women and men

This analysis of Article 23 CFREU (Charter of Fundamental Rights for the European Union) argues that this provision can promote a more progressive understanding of gender equality then promoted by the European Court of Justice, in that it requires actual change in gender relations. It also finds shortcomings in that the EU conceptualises gender equality by relating women to men, thus falling short of providing a basis for women's rights. The second edition, co-authored with Dr Biljana Kotevska, adds some analysis of trans rights, violence against women, and new developments in intersectionality.
