Around the world, we see a 'participatory turn' in the pursuit of
gender equality, exemplified by the adoption of gender quotas in
national legislatures to promote women's role as decision-makers.
We also see a 'pluralism turn', with increasing legal recognition
given to the customary law or religious law of minority groups and
indigenous peoples. To date, the former trend has primarily
benefitted majority women, and the latter has primarily benefitted
minority men. Neither has effectively ensured the participation of
minority women. 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.
This volume explores the connection between gender parity and
multicultural feminism, both at the level of theory and in
practice. 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. 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.
